Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR) is the average time from the start of an outage to full restoration of service. It captures how quickly a team detects, diagnoses, and fixes incidents.
Lower MTTR means shorter downtime and less impact. Fast detection is half the battle — see MTTD — which is why instant, trustworthy alerting matters so much.
Good incident management and runbooks are the most reliable ways to bring MTTR down.
