How it works

Enforces a safety ceiling. It is sensitive to every data point; if any single value crosses the threshold, the breaker fires to prevent system overreach.

When to use

• Critical safety limits (e.g., Memory usage at 95%).
• Catching extreme latency outliers.
• Monitoring resource high-water marks.

When not to use

• Noisy environments where one-off outliers are expected and harmless.
