Incident Response Notes

This document summarizes how observability and monitoring support incident response in the platform.

Key Operational Questions

During an incident, operators should be able to answer:

• Are workloads healthy?
• Are pods under resource pressure?
• Is scaling occurring?
• Are infrastructure alarms firing?
• What changed recently?

Monitoring Tools Used

• Grafana for workload and cluster visibility
• Prometheus for metrics history
• CloudWatch for infrastructure alerts

Why This Matters

Effective observability reduces time to detection and improves troubleshooting during runtime issues.
