Focal Impact The Service Pyramid
summary
Framework claims: prioritize work by a six-layer Service Pyramid so lowest layers (hardware/provisioning, monitoring, lifecycle) must be solid before capacity or p99 hunts. Applied to buildings-as-services at Facebook: integrated DCIM/BMS/Controls/Mechanical/Electrical, bought third‑party integration software, and focused first on monitoring first rather than immediate provisioning fixes. Result: device monitoring moves from “bad” to acceptable, alert noise drops (fewer wakeups), provisioning remains a backlog to fix, and the framework proves effective for rapid, tactical impact.
