title: Alarms
---

We have a standard set of alarms that we use for different infrastructure components and service metrics. Most of these standard alarms will be using AWS metrics or metrics we have sent to Cloudwatch using TwitchTelemetry. The preference is to create alarms in Cloudwatch wherever possible and only use Grafana alarms if we don't have the metrics available in Cloudwatch (ex. GraphQL metrics are in graphite).
