MTTR

Mean Time To Recovery

The average time required to restore service after an outage. A lower MTTR typically indicates better procedures, monitoring, documentation, backup, and recovery automation.

Why it matters

It measures what really hurts during an outage: how long it takes to get back online. A short recovery time speaks louder about good practices than the rarity of outages.

What's missing without it

Without measuring recovery time, every outage lasts 'as long as it takes' — you can’t tell whether procedures and automation are actually improving anything.

When it is used

When assessing operational maturity, after incidents, and when setting reliability goals.

How we use it

After a worker outage, the team measures time from alert to resuming queue processing.
