## ⚠️ Chunking Rule
Large monitoring stacks (Prometheus + Grafana + OpenTelemetry + logs) = 1000+ lines. Generate ONE component per response: Metrics → Dashboards → Alerting → Tracing → Logs.
## How to Invoke This Agent
**Agent**: `specweave-infrastructure:observability-engineer:observability-engineer`
```typescript
Task({

**Use When**: Monitoring architecture, distributed tracing, alerting, SLO tracking, log aggregation.
## Philosophy: Opinionated Observability
**I follow the "Three Pillars" model but with strong opinions:**
1. **OpenTelemetry First** - Vendor-neutral instrumentation. Don't lock into proprietary agents.
2. **Prometheus + Grafana Default** - Unless you need managed (then DataDog/New Relic).
3. **SLOs Before Alerts** - Define what "good" means before alerting on "bad".

When generating comprehensive incident reports that exceed 1000 lines (e.g., complete post-mortems covering root cause analysis, mitigation plans, runbooks, and preventive measures across multiple system layers), generate output **incrementally** to prevent crashes. Break large incident reports into logical phases (e.g., Triage → Root Cause Analysis → Immediate Mitigation → Long-term Prevention → Post-Mortem) and ask the user which phase to work on next. This ensures reliable delivery of SRE documentation without overwhelming the system.
## 🚀 How to Invoke This Agent
**Subagent Type**: `specweave-infrastructure:sre:sre`
**Usage Example**:
```typescript
Task({
subagent_type: "specweave-infrastructure:sre:sre",
prompt: "Diagnose why dashboard loading is slow (10 seconds) and provide immediate and long-term mitigation plans",
model: "haiku" // optional: haiku, sonnet, opus
});
```
**Naming Convention**: `{plugin}:{directory}:{yaml-name-or-directory-name}`
- **Plugin**: specweave-infrastructure
- **Directory**: sre
- **Agent Name**: sre
**When to Use**:
- You have an active production incident and need rapid diagnosis
- You need to analyze root causes of system failures
- You want to create runbooks for recurring issues
- You need to write post-mortems after incidents
- You're troubleshooting performance, availability, or reliability issues
**Purpose**: Holistic incident response, root cause analysis, and production system reliability.
## Core Capabilities
### 1. Incident Triage (Time-Critical)
**Assess severity and scope FAST**
**Severity Levels**:
- **SEV1**: Complete outage, data loss, security breach (PAGE IMMEDIATELY)
- **SEV2**: Degraded performance, partial outage (RESPOND QUICKLY)
- **SEV3**: Minor issues, cosmetic bugs (PLAN FIX)
**Triage Process**:
```
Input: [User describes incident]
Output:
├─ Severity: SEV1/SEV2/SEV3
├─ Affected Component: UI/Backend/Database/Infrastructure/Security
├─ Users Impacted: All/Partial/None
├─ Duration: Time since started
├─ Business Impact: Revenue/Trust/Legal/None
└─ Urgency: Immediate/Soon/Planned
```
**Example**:
```
User: "Dashboard is slow for users"
Triage:
- Severity: SEV2 (degraded performance, not down)
- Affected: Dashboard UI + Backend API
- Users Impacted: All users
- Started: ~2 hours ago (monitoring alert)
- Business Impact: Reduced engagement
- Urgency: High (immediate mitigation needed)
```
---
### 2. Root Cause Analysis (Multi-Layer Diagnosis)
**Start broad, narrow down systematically**
**Diagnostic Layers** (check in order):
1. **UI/Frontend** - Bundle size, render performance, network requests
2. **Network/API** - Response time, error rate, timeouts
3. **Backend** - Application logs, CPU, memory, external calls
4. **Database** - Query time, slow query log, connections, deadlocks
5. **Infrastructure** - Server health, disk, network, cloud resources
6. **Security** - DDoS, breach attempts, rate limiting
**Diagnostic Process**:
```
For each layer:
├─ Check: [Metric/Log/Tool]
├─ Status: Normal/Warning/Critical
├─ If Critical → SYMPTOM FOUND
└─ Continue to next layer until ROOT CAUSE found
```
**Tools Used**:
- **UI**: Chrome DevTools, Lighthouse, Network tab
- **Backend**: Application logs, APM (New Relic, DataDog), metrics
- **Database**: EXPLAIN ANALYZE, pg_stat_statements, slow query log
- **Infrastructure**: top, htop, df -h, iostat, cloud dashboards
- **Security**: Access logs, rate limit logs, IDS/IPS
**Load Diagnostic Modules** (as needed):
- `modules/ui-diagnostics.md` - Frontend troubleshooting
- `modules/backend-diagnostics.md` - API/service troubleshooting
- `modules/database-diagnostics.md` - DB performance, queries
- `modules/security-incidents.md` - Security breach response
- `modules/infrastructure.md` - Server, network, cloud
- `modules/monitoring.md` - Observability tools

### 3. Mitigation Planning (Three Horizons)
**Stop the bleeding → Tactical fix → Strategic solution**
**Horizons**:
1. **IMMEDIATE** (Now - 5 minutes)
- Stop the bleeding
- Restore service
- Examples: Restart service, scale up, enable cache, kill query
2. **SHORT-TERM** (5 minutes - 1 hour)
- Tactical fixes
- Reduce likelihood of recurrence
- Examples: Add index, patch bug, route traffic, increase timeout
3. **LONG-TERM** (1 hour - days/weeks)
- Strategic fixes
- Prevent future occurrences
- Examples: Re-architect, add monitoring, improve tests, update runbook
**Mitigation Plan Template**:
```markdown
## Mitigation Plan: [Incident Title]
### Immediate (Now - 5 min)
- [ ] [Action]
- Impact: [Expected improvement]
- Risk: [Low/Medium/High]
- ETA: [Time estimate]
### Short-term (5 min - 1 hour)
- [ ] [Action]
- Impact: [Expected improvement]
- Risk: [Low/Medium/High]
- ETA: [Time estimate]
### Long-term (1 hour+)
- [ ] [Action]
- Impact: [Expected improvement]
- Risk: [Low/Medium/High]
- ETA: [Time estimate]
```
**Risk Assessment**:
- **Low**: No user impact, reversible, tested approach
- **Medium**: Minimal user impact, reversible, new approach
- **High**: User impact, not easily reversible, untested
---
### 4. Runbook Management
**Create reusable incident response procedures**
**When to Create Runbook**:
- Incident occurred more than once
- Complex diagnosis procedure
- Requires specific commands/steps
- Knowledge needs to be shared with team
**Runbook Template**: See `templates/runbook-template.md`
**Runbook Structure**:
```markdown
# Runbook: [Incident Type]
## Symptoms
- What users see/experience
- Monitoring alerts triggered
## Diagnosis
- Step-by-step investigation
- Commands to run
- What to look for
## Mitigation
- Immediate actions
- Short-term fixes
- Long-term solutions
## Related Incidents
- Links to past post-mortems
- Common causes
## Escalation
- When to escalate
- Who to contact
```

### 5. Post-Mortem Creation
**Learn from failures, prevent recurrence**
**When to Create Post-Mortem**:
- All SEV1 incidents (MANDATORY)
- SEV2 incidents with user impact
- SEV3 incidents with interesting lessons
**Post-Mortem Template**: See `templates/post-mortem.md`
**Required Sections**:
1. **Summary** - Date, duration, severity, impact
2. **Timeline** - Detailed event sequence with timestamps
3. **Root Cause** - What broke and why
4. **Resolution** - What fixed it
5. **Action Items** - Concrete, assignable tasks
6. **Lessons Learned** - What went well, what to improve
**Blameless Culture**:
- Focus on systems, not individuals
- "The system allowed this to happen" not "Person X caused this"
- Action items prevent recurrence, not punish people

## Workflow Examples
### Example 1: "Dashboard Slow" Incident
**Input**: "Dashboard loading slowly for users, ~10 seconds"
**Output**:
```
INCIDENT TRIAGE
===============
Severity: SEV2 (degraded performance)
Affected: Dashboard UI + Backend API
Users Impacted: All users
Duration: ~2 hours (monitoring alert at 12:00)
Business Impact: Reduced engagement, potential churn
Urgency: High
MULTI-LAYER DIAGNOSIS
======================
Layer 1: UI/Frontend
--------------------
✓ Bundle size: 2.1MB (normal)
✓ Render time: 150ms (normal)
✗ API response time: 8.2s (HIGH) ← SYMPTOM
Layer 2: Backend/API
--------------------
✗ /api/dashboard endpoint: 8.0s average
✓ Error rate: 0%
✓ CPU: 25%
✓ Memory: 60%
✗ Database query time: 7.8s ← SYMPTOM
Layer 3: Database
-----------------
✗ Slow query log:
SELECT users.*, posts.*, comments.*
FROM users
LEFT JOIN posts ON posts.user_id = users.id
LEFT JOIN comments ON comments.post_id = posts.id
WHERE users.last_login_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'
Execution time: 7.8 seconds
Rows scanned: 10,000,000
Running EXPLAIN ANALYZE...
✗ Sequential scan on users table (10M rows)
✗ Missing index on users.last_login_at ← ROOT CAUSE
ROOT CAUSE: Missing database index on users.last_login_at
MITIGATION PLAN
===============
Immediate (Now - 5 min):
------------------------
✓ Add index on users.last_login_at
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_users_last_login_at
ON users(last_login_at);
Impact: 7.8s → 50ms query time
Risk: Low (CONCURRENTLY = no table lock)
ETA: 2 minutes
Short-term (5 min - 1 hour):
----------------------------
□ Cache dashboard data (5 min TTL)
Impact: 90% reduction in DB load
Risk: Low (data staleness acceptable)
ETA: 15 minutes
□ Add monitoring alert
Alert: Dashboard load time >2 seconds
ETA: 10 minutes
Long-term (1 hour+):
--------------------
□ Audit all dashboard queries for missing indexes
□ Create runbook: "Slow Dashboard Queries"
□ Add E2E test: Dashboard loads <2s
□ Review query patterns in code review process
Shall I proceed with immediate mitigation?
```
---
### Example 2: "Service Down" Incident
**Input**: "Users can't access the site, getting 502 errors"
**Output**:
```
INCIDENT TRIAGE
===============
Severity: SEV1 (complete outage)
Affected: All services
Users Impacted: ALL users (100%)
Duration: Started 5 minutes ago
Business Impact: CRITICAL - no revenue, high churn risk
Urgency: IMMEDIATE
MULTI-LAYER DIAGNOSIS
======================
Layer 1: UI/Frontend
--------------------
✗ All requests → 502 Bad Gateway
→ Problem is NOT frontend (backend is down)
Layer 2: Backend/API
--------------------
✗ Health check endpoint: Connection refused
✗ Process check: Application process not running
✓ Server accessible via SSH
→ Application crashed
Checking application logs...
✗ Last log entry: "OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space"
✗ Memory usage before crash: 8GB (limit: 8GB)
→ ROOT CAUSE: Memory leak caused OOM crash
ROOT CAUSE: Application ran out of memory and crashed
MITIGATION PLAN
===============
Immediate (Now - 5 min):
------------------------
✓ Restart application with increased heap
# Restart with 12GB heap (was 8GB)
java -Xmx12G -jar application.jar
Impact: Service restored
Risk: Low (buys time, doesn't fix leak)
ETA: 2 minutes
✓ Enable memory monitoring
Alert: Memory >80% of limit
ETA: 3 minutes
Short-term (5 min - 1 hour):
----------------------------
□ Analyze heap dump to identify leak
jmap -dump:format=b,file=heap.bin <pid>
ETA: 20 minutes
□ Deploy temporary fix if leak identified
ETA: 45 minutes
Long-term (1 hour+):
--------------------
□ Fix memory leak in code
□ Add memory regression test
□ Create runbook: "Application OOM Recovery"
□ Post-mortem with timeline
EXECUTING IMMEDIATE MITIGATION...
✓ Application restarted
✓ Health check: 200 OK
✓ Monitoring enabled
INCIDENT RESOLVED - Service restored
Next steps: Analyze heap dump to prevent recurrence

2. **Multi-layer approach** - Check all layers systematically
3. **Time-box diagnosis** - SEV1 = 10 min max, then escalate
4. **Document everything** - Timeline, commands run, findings
5. **Mitigation before perfection** - Restore service, then fix properly
6. **Blameless** - Focus on systems, not people
7. **Learn and prevent** - Post-mortem with action items
8. **Collaborate** - Hand off to specialists when needed
**Remember**:
- Users care about service restoration, not technical details
- Communicate clearly: "Service restored" not "Memory heap optimized"
- Always create post-mortem for SEV1 incidents
- Update runbooks after every incident
- Action items must be concrete and assignable

# Backend/API Diagnostics
**Purpose**: Troubleshoot backend services, APIs, and application-level performance issues.
## Common Backend Issues
### 1. Slow API Response
**Symptoms**:
- API response time >1 second
- Users report slow loading
- Timeout errors
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Application Logs
```bash
# Check for slow requests
grep "duration" /var/log/application.log | awk '{if ($5 > 1000) print}'
# Check error rate
grep "ERROR" /var/log/application.log | wc -l
# Check recent errors
tail -f /var/log/application.log | grep "ERROR"
```
**Red flags**:
- Repeated errors for same endpoint
- Increasing response times
- Timeout errors
---
#### Check Application Metrics
```bash
# CPU usage
top -bn1 | grep "node\|java\|python"
# Memory usage
ps aux | grep "node\|java\|python" | awk '{print $4, $11}'
# Thread count
ps -eLf | grep "node\|java\|python" | wc -l
# Open file descriptors
lsof -p <PID> | wc -l
```
**Red flags**:
- CPU >80%
- Memory increasing over time
- Thread count increasing (thread leak)
- File descriptors increasing (connection leak)
---
#### Check Database Query Time
```bash
# If slow, likely database issue
# See database-diagnostics.md
# Check if query time matches API response time
# API response time = Query time + Application processing
```
---
#### Check External API Calls
```bash
# Check if calling external APIs
grep "http.request" /var/log/application.log
# Check external API response time
# Use APM tools or custom instrumentation
```
**Red flags**:
- External API taking >500ms
- External API rate limiting (429 errors)
- External API errors (5xx errors)
**Mitigation**:
- Cache external API responses
- Add timeout (don't wait >5s)
- Circuit breaker pattern
- Fallback data
---
### 2. 5xx Errors (500, 502, 503, 504)
**Symptoms**:
- Users getting error messages
- Monitoring alerts for error rate
- Some/all requests failing
**Diagnosis by Error Code**:
#### 500 Internal Server Error
**Cause**: Application code error
**Diagnosis**:
```bash
# Check application logs for exceptions
grep "Exception\|Error" /var/log/application.log | tail -20
# Check stack traces
tail -100 /var/log/application.log
```
**Common causes**:
- NullPointerException / TypeError
- Unhandled promise rejection
- Database connection error
- Missing environment variable
**Mitigation**:
- Fix bug in code
- Add error handling
- Add input validation
- Add monitoring for this error
---
#### 502 Bad Gateway
**Cause**: Reverse proxy can't reach backend
**Diagnosis**:
```bash
# Check if application is running
ps aux | grep "node\|java\|python"
# Check application port
netstat -tlnp | grep <PORT>
# Check reverse proxy logs (nginx, apache)
tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log
```
**Common causes**:
- Application crashed
- Application not listening on expected port
- Firewall blocking connection
- Reverse proxy misconfigured
**Mitigation**:
- Restart application
- Check application logs for crash reason
- Verify port configuration
- Check reverse proxy config
---
#### 503 Service Unavailable
**Cause**: Application overloaded or unhealthy
**Diagnosis**:
```bash
# Check application health
curl http://localhost:<PORT>/health
# Check connection pool
# Database connections, HTTP connections
# Check queue depth
# Message queues, task queues
```
**Common causes**:
- Too many concurrent requests
- Database connection pool exhausted
- Dependency service down
- Health check failing
**Mitigation**:
- Scale horizontally (add more instances)
- Increase connection pool size
- Rate limiting
- Circuit breaker for dependencies
---
#### 504 Gateway Timeout
**Cause**: Application took too long to respond
**Diagnosis**:
```bash
# Check what's slow
# Database query? External API? Long computation?
# Check application logs for slow operations
grep "slow\|timeout" /var/log/application.log
```
**Common causes**:
- Slow database query
- Slow external API call
- Long-running computation
- Deadlock
**Mitigation**:
- Optimize slow operation
- Add timeout to prevent indefinite wait
- Async processing (return 202 Accepted)
- Increase timeout (last resort)
---
### 3. Memory Leak (Backend)
**Symptoms**:
- Memory usage increasing over time
- Application crashes with OutOfMemoryError
- Performance degrades over time
**Diagnosis**:
#### Monitor Memory Over Time
```bash
# Linux
watch -n 5 'ps aux | grep <PROCESS> | awk "{print \$4, \$5, \$6}"'
# Get heap dump (Java)
jmap -dump:format=b,file=heap.bin <PID>
# Get heap snapshot (Node.js)
node --inspect index.js
# Chrome DevTools → Memory → Take heap snapshot
```
**Red flags**:
- Memory increasing linearly
- Memory not released after GC
- Large arrays/objects in heap dump
---
#### Common Causes
```javascript
// 1. Event listeners not removed
emitter.on('event', handler); // Never removed
// 2. Timers not cleared
setInterval(() => { /* ... */ }, 1000); // Never cleared
// 3. Global variables growing
global.cache = {}; // Grows forever
// 4. Closures holding references
function createHandler() {
const largeData = new Array(1000000);
return () => {
// Closure keeps largeData in memory
};
}
// 5. Connection leaks
const conn = await db.connect();
// Never closed → connection pool exhausted
```
**Mitigation**:
```javascript
// 1. Remove event listeners
const handler = () => { /* ... */ };
emitter.on('event', handler);
// Later:
emitter.off('event', handler);
// 2. Clear timers
const intervalId = setInterval(() => { /* ... */ }, 1000);
// Later:
clearInterval(intervalId);
// 3. Use LRU cache
const LRU = require('lru-cache');
const cache = new LRU({ max: 1000 });
// 4. Be careful with closures
function createHandler() {
return () => {
const largeData = loadData(); // Load when needed
};
}
// 5. Always close connections
const conn = await db.connect();
try {
await conn.query(/* ... */);
} finally {
await conn.close();
}
```
---
### 4. High CPU Usage
**Symptoms**:
- CPU at 100%
- Slow response times
- Server becomes unresponsive
**Diagnosis**:
#### Identify CPU-heavy Process
```bash
# Top CPU processes
top -bn1 | head -20
# CPU per thread (Java)
top -H -p <PID>
# Profile application (Node.js)
node --prof index.js
node --prof-process isolate-*.log
```
**Common causes**:
- Infinite loop
- Heavy computation (parsing, encryption)
- Regular expression catastrophic backtracking
- Large JSON parsing
**Mitigation**:
```javascript
// 1. Break up heavy computation
async function processLargeArray(items) {
for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
await processItem(items[i]);
// Yield to event loop
if (i % 100 === 0) {
await new Promise(resolve => setImmediate(resolve));
}
}
}
// 2. Use worker threads (Node.js)
const { Worker } = require('worker_threads');
const worker = new Worker('./heavy-computation.js');
// 3. Cache results
const cache = new Map();
function expensiveOperation(input) {
if (cache.has(input)) return cache.get(input);
const result = /* heavy computation */;
cache.set(input, result);
return result;
}
// 4. Fix regex
// Bad: /(.+)*/ (catastrophic backtracking)
// Good: /(.+?)/ (non-greedy)
```
---
### 5. Connection Pool Exhausted
**Symptoms**:
- "Connection pool exhausted" errors
- "Too many connections" errors
- Requests timing out
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Connection Pool
```bash
# Database connections
# PostgreSQL:
SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity;
# MySQL:
SHOW PROCESSLIST;
# Application connection pool
# Check application metrics/logs
```
**Red flags**:
- Connections = max pool size
- Idle connections in transaction
- Long-running queries holding connections
**Common causes**:
- Connections not released (missing .close())
- Connection leak in error path
- Pool size too small
- Long-running queries
**Mitigation**:
```javascript
// 1. Always close connections
async function queryDatabase() {
const conn = await pool.connect();
try {
const result = await conn.query('SELECT * FROM users');
return result;
} finally {
conn.release(); // CRITICAL
}
}
// 2. Use connection pool wrapper
const pool = new Pool({
max: 20, // max connections
idleTimeoutMillis: 30000,
connectionTimeoutMillis: 2000,
});
// 3. Monitor pool metrics
pool.on('error', (err) => {
console.error('Pool error:', err);
});
// 4. Increase pool size (if needed)
// But investigate leaks first!
```

# Database Diagnostics
**Purpose**: Troubleshoot database performance, slow queries, deadlocks, and connection issues.
## Common Database Issues
### 1. Slow Query
**Symptoms**:
- API response time high
- Specific endpoint slow
- Database CPU high
**Diagnosis**:
#### Enable Slow Query Log (PostgreSQL)
```sql
-- Set slow query threshold (1 second)
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_min_duration_statement = 1000;
SELECT pg_reload_conf();
-- Check slow query log
-- /var/log/postgresql/postgresql.log
```
#### Enable Slow Query Log (MySQL)
```sql
-- Enable slow query log
SET GLOBAL slow_query_log = 'ON';
SET GLOBAL long_query_time = 1;
-- Check slow query log
-- /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log
```
---
#### Analyze Query with EXPLAIN
```sql
-- PostgreSQL
EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT users.*, posts.*
FROM users
LEFT JOIN posts ON posts.user_id = users.id
WHERE users.last_login_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days';
-- Look for:
-- - Seq Scan (sequential scan = BAD for large tables)
-- - High cost numbers
-- - High actual time
```
**Red flags in EXPLAIN output**:
- **Seq Scan** on large table (>10k rows) → Missing index
- **Nested Loop** with large outer table → Missing index
- **Hash Join** with large tables → Consider index
- **Actual time** >> **Planned time** → Statistics outdated
**Example Bad Query**:
```
Seq Scan on users (cost=0.00..100000 rows=10000000)
Filter: (last_login_at > '2025-09-26'::date)
Rows Removed by Filter: 9900000
```
**Missing index on last_login_at**
---
#### Check Missing Indexes
```sql
-- PostgreSQL: Find missing indexes
SELECT
schemaname,
tablename,
seq_scan,
seq_tup_read,
idx_scan,
seq_tup_read / seq_scan AS avg_seq_read
FROM pg_stat_user_tables
WHERE seq_scan > 0
ORDER BY seq_tup_read DESC
LIMIT 20;
-- Tables with high seq_scan and low idx_scan need indexes
```
---
#### Create Index
```sql
-- PostgreSQL (CONCURRENTLY = no table lock)
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_users_last_login_at
ON users(last_login_at);
-- Verify index is used
EXPLAIN ANALYZE
SELECT * FROM users WHERE last_login_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days';
-- Should show: Index Scan using idx_users_last_login_at
```
**Impact**:
- Before: 7.8 seconds (Seq Scan)
- After: 50ms (Index Scan)
---
### 2. Database Deadlock
**Symptoms**:
- "Deadlock detected" errors
- Transactions timing out
- API 500 errors
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check for Deadlocks (PostgreSQL)
```sql
-- Check currently locked queries
SELECT
blocked_locks.pid AS blocked_pid,
blocked_activity.usename AS blocked_user,
blocking_locks.pid AS blocking_pid,
blocking_activity.usename AS blocking_user,
blocked_activity.query AS blocked_statement,
blocking_activity.query AS blocking_statement
FROM pg_catalog.pg_locks blocked_locks
JOIN pg_catalog.pg_stat_activity blocked_activity ON blocked_activity.pid = blocked_locks.pid
JOIN pg_catalog.pg_locks blocking_locks
ON blocking_locks.locktype = blocked_locks.locktype
AND blocking_locks.database IS NOT DISTINCT FROM blocked_locks.database
AND blocking_locks.relation IS NOT DISTINCT FROM blocked_locks.relation
AND blocking_locks.pid != blocked_locks.pid
JOIN pg_catalog.pg_stat_activity blocking_activity ON blocking_activity.pid = blocking_locks.pid
WHERE NOT blocked_locks.granted;
```
#### Check for Deadlocks (MySQL)
```sql
-- Show InnoDB status (includes deadlock info)
SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS\G
-- Look for "LATEST DETECTED DEADLOCK" section
```
---
#### Common Deadlock Patterns
```sql
-- Pattern 1: Lock order mismatch
-- Transaction 1:
BEGIN;
UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - 100 WHERE id = 1;
UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + 100 WHERE id = 2;
COMMIT;
-- Transaction 2 (runs concurrently):
BEGIN;
UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - 50 WHERE id = 2; -- Locks id=2
UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + 50 WHERE id = 1; -- Waits for id=1 (deadlock!)
COMMIT;
```
**Fix**: Always lock in same order
```sql
-- Both transactions lock in order: id=1, then id=2
BEGIN;
UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - 100 WHERE id = LEAST(1, 2);
UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + 100 WHERE id = GREATEST(1, 2);
COMMIT;
```
---
#### Immediate Mitigation
```sql
-- PostgreSQL: Kill blocking query
SELECT pg_terminate_backend(<blocking_pid>);
-- PostgreSQL: Kill idle transactions
SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid)
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE state = 'idle in transaction'
AND state_change < NOW() - INTERVAL '5 minutes';
```
---
### 3. Connection Pool Exhausted
**Symptoms**:
- "Too many connections" errors
- "Connection pool exhausted" errors
- New connections timing out
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Active Connections (PostgreSQL)
```sql
-- Count connections by state
SELECT state, count(*)
FROM pg_stat_activity
GROUP BY state;
-- Show all connections
SELECT pid, usename, application_name, state, query
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE state != 'idle';
-- Check max connections
SHOW max_connections;
```
#### Check Active Connections (MySQL)
```sql
-- Show all connections
SHOW PROCESSLIST;
-- Count connections by state
SELECT state, COUNT(*)
FROM information_schema.processlist
GROUP BY state;
-- Check max connections
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_connections';
```
**Red flags**:
- Connections = max_connections
- Many "idle in transaction" (connections held but not used)
- Long-running queries holding connections
---
#### Immediate Mitigation
```sql
-- PostgreSQL: Kill idle connections
SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid)
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE state = 'idle'
AND state_change < NOW() - INTERVAL '10 minutes';
-- Increase max_connections (temporary)
ALTER SYSTEM SET max_connections = 200;
SELECT pg_reload_conf();
```
**Long-term Fix**:
- Fix connection leaks in application code
- Increase connection pool size (if needed)
- Add connection timeout
- Use connection pooler (PgBouncer, ProxySQL)
---
### 4. High Database CPU
**Symptoms**:
- Database CPU >80%
- All queries slow
- Server overload
**Diagnosis**:
#### Find CPU-heavy Queries (PostgreSQL)
```sql
-- Top queries by total time
SELECT
query,
calls,
total_exec_time,
mean_exec_time,
max_exec_time
FROM pg_stat_statements
ORDER BY total_exec_time DESC
LIMIT 10;
-- Requires: CREATE EXTENSION pg_stat_statements;
```
#### Find CPU-heavy Queries (MySQL)
```sql
-- Enable performance schema
SET GLOBAL performance_schema = ON;
-- Top queries by execution time
SELECT
DIGEST_TEXT,
COUNT_STAR,
SUM_TIMER_WAIT,
AVG_TIMER_WAIT
FROM performance_schema.events_statements_summary_by_digest
ORDER BY SUM_TIMER_WAIT DESC
LIMIT 10;
```
**Common causes**:
- Missing indexes (Seq Scan)
- Complex queries (many JOINs)
- Aggregations on large tables
- Full table scans
**Mitigation**:
- Add missing indexes
- Optimize queries (reduce JOINs)
- Add query caching
- Scale database (read replicas)
---
### 5. Disk Full
**Symptoms**:
- "No space left on device" errors
- Database refuses writes
- Application crashes
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Disk Usage
```bash
# Linux
df -h
# Database data directory
du -sh /var/lib/postgresql/data/*
du -sh /var/lib/mysql/*
# Find large tables
# PostgreSQL:
SELECT
schemaname,
tablename,
pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename)) AS size
FROM pg_tables
ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) DESC
LIMIT 20;
```
---
#### Immediate Mitigation
```bash
# 1. Clean up logs
rm /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-*.log.1
rm /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log.1
# 2. Vacuum database (PostgreSQL)
VACUUM FULL;
# 3. Archive old data
# Move old records to archive table or backup
# 4. Expand disk (cloud)
# AWS: Modify EBS volume size
# Azure: Expand managed disk
```
---
### 6. Replication Lag
**Symptoms**:
- Stale data on read replicas
- Monitoring alerts for lag
- Eventually consistent reads
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Replication Lag (PostgreSQL)
```sql
-- On primary:
SELECT * FROM pg_stat_replication;
-- On replica:
SELECT
now() - pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp() AS replication_lag;
```
#### Check Replication Lag (MySQL)
```sql
-- On replica:
SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G
-- Look for: Seconds_Behind_Master
```
**Red flags**:
- Lag >1 minute
- Lag increasing over time
**Common causes**:
- High write load on primary
- Replica under-provisioned
- Network latency
- Long-running query blocking replay
**Mitigation**:
- Scale up replica (more CPU, memory)
- Optimize slow queries on primary
- Increase network bandwidth
- Add more replicas (distribute read load)
---
## Database Performance Metrics
**Query Performance**:
- p50 query time: <10ms
- p95 query time: <100ms
- p99 query time: <500ms
**Resource Usage**:
- CPU: <70% average
- Memory: <80% of available
- Disk I/O: <80% of throughput
- Connections: <80% of max
**Availability**:
- Uptime: 99.99% (52.6 min downtime/year)
- Replication lag: <1 second
---
## Database Diagnostic Checklist
**When diagnosing slow database**:
- [ ] Check slow query log
- [ ] Run EXPLAIN ANALYZE on slow queries
- [ ] Check for missing indexes (seq_scan > idx_scan)
- [ ] Check for deadlocks
- [ ] Check connection count (target: <80% of max)
- [ ] Check database CPU (target: <70%)
- [ ] Check disk space (target: <80% used)
- [ ] Check replication lag (target: <1s)
- [ ] Check for long-running queries (>30s)
- [ ] Check for idle transactions (>5 min)
**Tools**:
- `EXPLAIN ANALYZE`
- `pg_stat_statements` (PostgreSQL)
- Performance Schema (MySQL)
- `pg_stat_activity` (PostgreSQL)
- `SHOW PROCESSLIST` (MySQL)
- Database monitoring (CloudWatch, DataDog)
---
## Database Anti-Patterns
### 1. N+1 Query Problem
```javascript
// BAD: N+1 queries
const users = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users');
for (const user of users) {
const posts = await db.query('SELECT * FROM posts WHERE user_id = ?', [user.id]);
}
// 1 query + N queries = N+1
// GOOD: Single query with JOIN
const usersWithPosts = await db.query(`
SELECT users.*, posts.*
FROM users
LEFT JOIN posts ON posts.user_id = users.id
`);
```
### 2. SELECT *
```sql
-- BAD: Fetches all columns (inefficient)
SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1;
-- GOOD: Fetch only needed columns
SELECT id, name, email FROM users WHERE id = 1;
```
### 3. Missing Indexes
```sql
-- BAD: No index on frequently queried column
SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = 'user@example.com';
-- Seq Scan on users
-- GOOD: Add index
CREATE INDEX idx_users_email ON users(email);
-- Index Scan using idx_users_email
```
### 4. Long Transactions
```javascript
// BAD: Long transaction holding locks
BEGIN;
const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1 FOR UPDATE');
await sendEmail(user.email); // External API call (slow!)
await db.query('UPDATE users SET last_email_sent = NOW() WHERE id = 1');
COMMIT;
// GOOD: Keep transactions short
const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1');
await sendEmail(user.email); // Outside transaction
await db.query('UPDATE users SET last_email_sent = NOW() WHERE id = 1');
```

# Infrastructure Diagnostics
**Purpose**: Troubleshoot server, network, disk, and cloud infrastructure issues.
## Common Infrastructure Issues
### 1. High CPU Usage (Server)
**Symptoms**:
- Server CPU at 100%
- Applications slow
- SSH lag
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check CPU Usage
```bash
# Overall CPU usage
top -bn1 | grep "Cpu(s)"
# Top CPU processes
top -bn1 | head -20
# CPU usage per core
mpstat -P ALL 1 5
# Historical CPU (if sar installed)
sar -u 1 10
```
**Red flags**:
- CPU at 100% for >5 minutes
- Single process using >80% CPU
- iowait >20% (disk bottleneck)
- System CPU >30% (kernel overhead)
---
#### Identify CPU-heavy Process
```bash
# Top CPU process
ps aux | sort -nrk 3,3 | head -10
# CPU per thread
top -H
# Process tree
pstree -p
```
**Common causes**:
- Application bug (infinite loop)
- Heavy computation
- Crypto mining malware
- Backup/compression running
---
#### Immediate Mitigation
```bash
# 1. Limit process CPU (nice)
renice +10 <PID> # Lower priority
# 2. Kill process (last resort)
kill -TERM <PID> # Graceful
kill -KILL <PID> # Force kill
# 3. Scale horizontally (add servers)
# Cloud: Auto-scaling group
# 4. Scale vertically (bigger instance)
# Cloud: Resize instance
```
---
### 2. Out of Memory (OOM)
**Symptoms**:
- "Out of memory" errors
- OOM Killer triggered
- Applications crash
- Swap usage high
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Memory Usage
```bash
# Current memory usage
free -h
# Memory per process
ps aux | sort -nrk 4,4 | head -10
# Check OOM killer logs
dmesg | grep -i "out of memory\|oom"
grep "Out of memory" /var/log/syslog
# Check swap usage
swapon -s
```
**Red flags**:
- Available memory <10%
- Swap usage >80%
- OOM killer active
- Single process using >50% memory
---
#### Immediate Mitigation
```bash
# 1. Free page cache (safe)
sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
# 2. Kill memory-heavy process
kill -9 <PID>
# 3. Increase swap (temporary)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=2048
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
# 4. Scale up (more RAM)
# Cloud: Resize instance
```
---
### 3. Disk Full
**Symptoms**:
- "No space left on device" errors
- Applications can't write files
- Database refuses writes
- Logs not being written
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Disk Usage
```bash
# Disk usage by partition
df -h
# Disk usage by directory
du -sh /*
du -sh /var/*
# Find large files
find / -type f -size +100M -exec ls -lh {} \;
# Find files using deleted space
lsof | grep deleted
```
**Red flags**:
- Disk usage >90%
- /var/log full (runaway logs)
- /tmp full (temp files not cleaned)
- Deleted files still holding space (process has handle)
---
#### Immediate Mitigation
```bash
# 1. Clean up logs
find /var/log -name "*.log.*" -mtime +7 -delete
journalctl --vacuum-time=7d
# 2. Clean up temp files
rm -rf /tmp/*
rm -rf /var/tmp/*
# 3. Find and remove deleted files holding space
lsof | grep deleted | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
# 4. Compress logs
gzip /var/log/*.log
# 5. Expand disk (cloud)
# AWS: Modify EBS volume size
# Azure: Expand managed disk
# After expanding:
resize2fs /dev/xvda1 # ext4
xfs_growfs / # xfs
```
---
### 4. Network Issues
**Symptoms**:
- Slow network performance
- Timeouts
- Connection refused
- High latency
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Network Connectivity
```bash
# Ping test
ping -c 5 google.com
# DNS resolution
nslookup example.com
dig example.com
# Traceroute
traceroute example.com
# Check network interfaces
ip addr show
ifconfig
# Check routing table
ip route show
route -n
```
**Red flags**:
- Packet loss >1%
- Latency >100ms (same region)
- DNS resolution failures
- Interface down
---
#### Check Network Bandwidth
```bash
# Current bandwidth usage
iftop -i eth0
# Network stats
netstat -i
# Historical bandwidth (if vnstat installed)
vnstat -l
# Check for bandwidth limits (cloud)
# AWS: Check CloudWatch NetworkIn/NetworkOut
```
---
#### Check Firewall Rules
```bash
# Check iptables rules
iptables -L -n -v
# Check firewalld (RHEL/CentOS)
firewall-cmd --list-all
# Check UFW (Ubuntu)
ufw status verbose
# Check security groups (cloud)
# AWS: EC2 → Security Groups
# Azure: Network Security Groups
```
**Common causes**:
- Firewall blocking traffic
- Security group misconfigured
- MTU mismatch
- Network congestion
- DDoS attack
---
#### Immediate Mitigation
```bash
# 1. Check firewall allows traffic
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
# 2. Restart networking
systemctl restart networking
systemctl restart NetworkManager
# 3. Flush DNS cache
systemd-resolve --flush-caches
# 4. Check cloud network ACLs
# Ensure subnet has route to internet gateway
```
---
### 5. High Disk I/O (Slow Disk)
**Symptoms**:
- Applications slow
- High iowait CPU
- Disk latency high
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Disk I/O
```bash
# Disk I/O stats
iostat -x 1 5
# Look for:
# - %util >80% (disk saturated)
# - await >100ms (high latency)
# Top I/O processes
iotop -o
# Historical I/O (if sar installed)
sar -d 1 10
```
**Red flags**:
- %util at 100%
- await >100ms
- iowait CPU >20%
- Queue size (avgqu-sz) >10
---
#### Common Causes
```bash
# 1. Database without indexes (Seq Scan)
# See database-diagnostics.md
# 2. Log rotation running
# Large logs being compressed
# 3. Backup running
# Database dump, file backup
# 4. Disk issue (bad sectors)
dmesg | grep -i "I/O error"
smartctl -a /dev/sda # SMART status
```
---
#### Immediate Mitigation
```bash
# 1. Reduce I/O pressure
# Stop non-critical processes (backup, log rotation)
# 2. Add read cache
# Enable query caching (database)
# Add Redis for application cache
# 3. Scale disk IOPS (cloud)
# AWS: Change EBS volume type (gp2 → gp3 → io1)
# Azure: Change disk tier
# 4. Move to SSD (if on HDD)
```
---
### 6. Service Down / Process Crashed
**Symptoms**:
- Service not responding
- Health check failures
- 502 Bad Gateway
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Service Status
```bash
# Systemd services
systemctl status nginx
systemctl status postgresql
systemctl status application
# Check if process running
ps aux | grep nginx
pidof nginx
# Check service logs
journalctl -u nginx -n 50
tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log
```
**Red flags**:
- Service: inactive (dead)
- Process not found
- Recent crash in logs
---
#### Check Why Service Crashed
```bash
# Check system logs
dmesg | tail -50
grep "error\|segfault\|killed" /var/log/syslog
# Check application logs
tail -100 /var/log/application.log
# Check for OOM killer
dmesg | grep -i "killed process"
# Check core dumps
ls -l /var/crash/
ls -l /tmp/core*
```
**Common causes**:
- Out of memory (OOM Killer)
- Segmentation fault (code bug)
- Unhandled exception
- Dependency service down
- Configuration error
---
#### Immediate Mitigation
```bash
# 1. Restart service
systemctl restart nginx
# 2. Check if started successfully
systemctl status nginx
curl http://localhost
# 3. If startup fails, check config
nginx -t # Test nginx config
postgresql -D /var/lib/postgresql/data --config-test
# 4. Enable auto-restart (systemd)
# Add to service file:
[Service]
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
```
---

# Monitoring & Observability
**Purpose**: Set up monitoring, alerting, and observability to detect incidents early.
## Observability Pillars
### 1. Metrics
**What to Monitor**:
- **Application**: Response time, error rate, throughput
- **Infrastructure**: CPU, memory, disk, network
- **Database**: Query time, connections, deadlocks
- **Business**: User signups, revenue, conversions
**Tools**:
- Prometheus + Grafana
- DataDog
- New Relic
- CloudWatch (AWS)
- Azure Monitor
---
#### Key Metrics by Layer
**Application Metrics**:
```
http_requests_total # Total requests
http_request_duration_seconds # Response time (histogram)
http_requests_errors_total # Error count
http_requests_in_flight # Concurrent requests
```
**Infrastructure Metrics**:
```
node_cpu_seconds_total # CPU usage
node_memory_usage_bytes # Memory usage
node_disk_usage_bytes # Disk usage
node_network_receive_bytes_total # Network in
```
**Database Metrics**:
```
pg_stat_database_tup_returned # Rows returned
pg_stat_database_tup_fetched # Rows fetched
pg_stat_database_deadlocks # Deadlock count
pg_stat_activity_connections # Active connections
```
---
### 2. Logs
**What to Log**:
- **Application logs**: Errors, warnings, info
- **Access logs**: HTTP requests (nginx, apache)
- **System logs**: Kernel, systemd, auth
- **Audit logs**: Security events, data access
**Log Levels**:
- **ERROR**: Application errors, exceptions
- **WARN**: Potential issues (deprecated API, high latency)
- **INFO**: Normal operations (user login, job completed)
- **DEBUG**: Detailed troubleshooting (only in dev)
**Tools**:
- ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana)
- Splunk
- CloudWatch Logs
- Azure Log Analytics
---
#### Structured Logging
**BAD** (unstructured):
```javascript
console.log("User logged in: " + userId);
```
**GOOD** (structured JSON):
```javascript
logger.info("User logged in", {
userId: 123,
ip: "192.168.1.1",
timestamp: "2025-10-26T12:00:00Z",
userAgent: "Mozilla/5.0...",
});
// Output:
// {"level":"info","message":"User logged in","userId":123,"ip":"192.168.1.1",...}
```
**Benefits**:
- Queryable (filter by userId)
- Machine-readable
- Consistent format
---
### 3. Traces
**Purpose**: Track request flow through distributed systems
**Example**:
```
User Request → API Gateway → Auth Service → Payment Service → Database
1ms 2ms 50ms 100ms 30ms
↑ SLOW SPAN
```
**Tools**:
- Jaeger
- Zipkin
- AWS X-Ray
- DataDog APM
- New Relic
**When to Use**:
- Microservices architecture
- Slow requests (which service is slow?)
- Debugging distributed systems
---
## Alerting Best Practices
### Alert on Symptoms, Not Causes
**BAD** (cause-based):
- Alert: "CPU usage >80%"
- Problem: CPU can be high without user impact
**GOOD** (symptom-based):
- Alert: "API response time >1s"
- Why: Users actually experiencing slowness
---
### Alert Severity Levels
**P1 (SEV1) - Page On-Call**:
- Service down (availability <99%)
- Data loss
- Security breach
- Response time >5s (unusable)
**P2 (SEV2) - Notify During Business Hours**:
- Degraded performance (response time >1s)
- Error rate >1%
- Disk >90% full
**P3 (SEV3) - Email/Slack**:
- Warning signs (disk >80%, memory >80%)
- Non-critical errors
- Monitoring gaps
---
### Alert Fatigue Prevention
**Rules**:
1. **Actionable**: Every alert must have clear action
2. **Meaningful**: Alert only on real problems
3. **Context**: Include relevant info (which server, which metric)
4. **Deduplicate**: Don't alert 100 times for same issue
5. **Escalate**: Auto-escalate if not acknowledged
**Example Bad Alert**:
```
Subject: Alert
Body: Server is down
```
**Example Good Alert**:
```
Subject: [P1] API Server Down - Production
Body:
- Service: api.example.com
- Issue: Health check failing for 5 minutes
- Impact: All users affected (100%)
- Runbook: https://wiki.example.com/runbook/api-down
- Dashboard: https://grafana.example.com/d/api
```
---
## Monitoring Setup
### Application Monitoring
#### Prometheus + Grafana
**Install Prometheus Client** (Node.js):
```javascript
const client = require('prom-client');
// Enable default metrics (CPU, memory, etc.)
client.collectDefaultMetrics();
// Custom metrics
const httpRequestDuration = new client.Histogram({
name: 'http_request_duration_seconds',
help: 'HTTP request duration in seconds',
labelNames: ['method', 'route', 'status'],
});
// Instrument code
app.use((req, res, next) => {
const end = httpRequestDuration.startTimer();
res.on('finish', () => {
end({ method: req.method, route: req.route.path, status: res.statusCode });
});
next();
});
// Expose metrics endpoint
app.get('/metrics', (req, res) => {
res.set('Content-Type', client.register.contentType);
res.end(client.register.metrics());
});
```
**Prometheus Config** (prometheus.yml):
```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'api-server'
static_configs:
- targets: ['localhost:3000']
scrape_interval: 15s
```
---
### Log Aggregation
#### ELK Stack
**Application** (send logs to Logstash):
```javascript
const winston = require('winston');
const LogstashTransport = require('winston-logstash-transport').LogstashTransport;
const logger = winston.createLogger({
transports: [
new LogstashTransport({
host: 'logstash.example.com',
port: 5000,
}),
],
});
logger.info('User logged in', { userId: 123, ip: '192.168.1.1' });
```
**Logstash Config**:
```
input {
tcp {
port => 5000
codec => json
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["elasticsearch:9200"]
index => "application-logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
}
}
```
---
### Health Checks
**Purpose**: Check if service is healthy and ready to serve traffic
**Types**:
1. **Liveness**: Is the service running? (restart if fails)
2. **Readiness**: Is the service ready to serve traffic? (remove from load balancer if fails)
**Example** (Express.js):
```javascript
// Liveness probe (simple check)
app.get('/healthz', (req, res) => {
res.status(200).send('OK');
});
// Readiness probe (check dependencies)
app.get('/ready', async (req, res) => {
try {
// Check database
await db.query('SELECT 1');
// Check Redis
await redis.ping();
// Check external API
await fetch('https://api.external.com/health');
res.status(200).send('Ready');
} catch (error) {
res.status(503).send('Not ready');
}
});
```
**Kubernetes**:
```yaml
livenessProbe:
httpGet:
path: /healthz
port: 3000
initialDelaySeconds: 30
periodSeconds: 10
readinessProbe:
httpGet:
path: /ready
port: 3000
initialDelaySeconds: 10
periodSeconds: 5
```
---
### SLI, SLO, SLA
**SLI** (Service Level Indicator):
- Metrics that measure service quality
- Examples: Response time, error rate, availability
**SLO** (Service Level Objective):
- Target for SLI
- Examples: "99.9% availability", "p95 response time <500ms"
**SLA** (Service Level Agreement):
- Contract with users (with penalties)
- Examples: "99.9% uptime or refund"
**Example**:
```
SLI: Availability = (successful requests / total requests) * 100
SLO: Availability must be ≥99.9% per month
SLA: If availability <99.9%, users get 10% refund
```
---

---
## Common Monitoring Patterns
### RED Method (for services)
**Rate**: Requests per second
**Errors**: Error rate (%)
**Duration**: Response time (p50, p95, p99)
**Dashboard**:
```
+-----------------+ +-----------------+ +-----------------+
| Rate | | Errors | | Duration |
| 1000 req/s | | 0.5% | | p95: 250ms |
+-----------------+ +-----------------+ +-----------------+
```
### USE Method (for resources)
**Utilization**: % of resource used (CPU, memory, disk)
**Saturation**: Queue depth, backlog
**Errors**: Error count
**Dashboard**:
```
CPU: 70% utilization, 0.5 load average, 0 errors
Memory: 80% utilization, 0 swap, 0 OOM kills
Disk: 60% utilization, 5ms latency, 0 I/O errors
```

# Security Incidents
**Purpose**: Respond to security breaches, DDoS attacks, and unauthorized access attempts.
**IMPORTANT**: For security incidents, SRE Agent collaborates with `security-agent` skill.
## Incident Response Protocol
### SEV1 Security Incidents (CRITICAL)
**Immediate Actions** (First 5 minutes):
1. **Isolate** affected systems
2. **Preserve** evidence (logs, snapshots)
3. **Notify** security team and management
4. **Assess** scope of breach
5. **Document** timeline
**DO NOT**:
- Delete logs (preserve evidence)
- Reboot systems (unless absolutely necessary)
- Make changes without documenting
---
## Common Security Incidents
### 1. DDoS Attack
**Symptoms**:
- Sudden traffic spike (10x-100x normal)
- Legitimate users can't access service
- High bandwidth usage
- Server overload
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Traffic Patterns
```bash
# Check connections by IP
netstat -ntu | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20
# Check HTTP requests by IP (nginx)
awk '{print $1}' /var/log/nginx/access.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20
# Check requests per second
tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log | awk '{print $4}' | uniq -c
```
**Red flags**:
- Single IP making thousands of requests
- Requests from suspicious IPs (botnets)
- High rate of 4xx errors (probing)
- Unusual traffic patterns
---
#### Immediate Mitigation
```bash
# 1. Rate limiting (nginx)
# Add to nginx.conf:
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=10r/s;
limit_req zone=one burst=20 nodelay;
# 2. Block suspicious IPs (iptables)
iptables -A INPUT -s <ATTACKER_IP> -j DROP
# 3. Enable DDoS protection (CloudFlare, AWS Shield)
# CloudFlare: Enable "I'm Under Attack" mode
# AWS: Enable AWS Shield Standard/Advanced
# 4. Increase capacity (auto-scaling)
# Scale up to handle traffic (if legitimate)
```
---
### 2. Unauthorized Access / Data Breach
**Symptoms**:
- Alerts for failed login attempts
- Successful login from unusual location
- Unusual data access patterns
- Data exfiltration detected
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Access Logs
```bash
# Check authentication logs (Linux)
grep "Failed password" /var/log/auth.log | tail -50
# Check successful logins
grep "Accepted password" /var/log/auth.log | tail -50
# Check login attempts by IP
awk '/Failed password/ {print $(NF-3)}' /var/log/auth.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
```
**Red flags**:
- Hundreds of failed login attempts (brute force)
- Successful login from suspicious IP/location
- Login at unusual time (3am)
- Multiple accounts accessed from same IP
---
#### Immediate Response (SEV1)
```bash
# 1. ISOLATE: Disable compromised account
# Application-level:
UPDATE users SET disabled = true WHERE id = <COMPROMISED_USER_ID>;
# System-level:
passwd -l <username> # Lock account
# 2. PRESERVE: Copy logs for forensics
cp /var/log/auth.log /forensics/auth.log.$(date +%Y%m%d)
cp /var/log/nginx/access.log /forensics/access.log.$(date +%Y%m%d)
# 3. ASSESS: Check what was accessed
# Database audit logs
# Application logs
# File access logs
# 4. NOTIFY: Alert security team
# Email, Slack, PagerDuty
# 5. DOCUMENT: Create incident timeline
```
---
#### Long-term Mitigation
- Force password reset for all users
- Enable 2FA/MFA
- Review access controls
- Conduct security audit
- Update security policies
- Train users on security
---
### 3. SQL Injection Attempt
**Symptoms**:
- Unusual SQL queries in logs
- 500 errors with SQL syntax messages
- Alerts from WAF (Web Application Firewall)
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Application Logs
```bash
# Look for SQL injection patterns
grep -E "(SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE).*FROM.*WHERE" /var/log/application.log
# Look for SQL errors
grep "SQLException\|SQL syntax" /var/log/application.log
# Check for malicious patterns
grep -E "(\'\s*OR\s*\'|\-\-|UNION\s+SELECT)" /var/log/nginx/access.log
```
**Example Malicious Request**:
```
GET /api/users?id=1' OR '1'='1
GET /api/users?id=1; DROP TABLE users;--
```
---
#### Immediate Response
```bash
# 1. Block attacker IP
iptables -A INPUT -s <ATTACKER_IP> -j DROP
# 2. Enable WAF rule (ModSecurity, AWS WAF)
# Block requests with SQL keywords
# 3. Check database for unauthorized changes
# Compare current schema with backup
# Check audit logs for suspicious queries
# 4. Review application code
# Use parameterized queries, not string concatenation
```
**Long-term Fix**:
```javascript
// BAD: SQL injection vulnerable
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${req.query.id}`;
// GOOD: Parameterized query
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?';
db.query(query, [req.query.id]);
```
---
### 4. Malware / Crypto Mining
**Symptoms**:
- High CPU usage (100%)
- Unusual network traffic (to crypto pool)
- Unknown processes running
- Server slow
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Running Processes
```bash
# Check CPU usage by process
top -bn1 | head -20
# Check all processes
ps aux | sort -nrk 3,3 | head -20
# Check for suspicious processes
ps aux | grep -v -E "^(root|www-data|mysql|postgres)"
# Check network connections
netstat -tunap | grep ESTABLISHED
```
**Red flags**:
- Unknown process using 100% CPU
- Connections to crypto mining pools
- Processes running as unexpected user
- Processes with random names (xmrig, minerd)
---
#### Immediate Response
```bash
# 1. Kill malicious process
kill -9 <PID>
# 2. Find and remove malware
find / -name "<PROCESS_NAME>" -delete
# 3. Check for persistence mechanisms
crontab -l # Cron jobs
cat /etc/rc.local # Startup scripts
systemctl list-unit-files # Systemd services
# 4. Change all credentials
# Root password
# SSH keys
# Database passwords
# API keys
# 5. Restore from clean backup (if available)
```
---
### 5. Insider Threat / Data Exfiltration
**Symptoms**:
- Large data downloads
- Database dump exports
- Unusual file transfers
- After-hours access
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Data Access Logs
```bash
# Check database queries (large exports)
grep "SELECT.*FROM" /var/log/postgresql/postgresql.log | grep -E "LIMIT\s+[0-9]{5,}"
# Check file downloads (nginx)
awk '$10 > 10000000 {print $1, $7, $10}' /var/log/nginx/access.log
# Check SSH file transfers
grep "sftp\|scp" /var/log/auth.log
```
**Red flags**:
- SELECT with no LIMIT (full table export)
- Large file downloads (>10MB)
- Multiple consecutive downloads
- Access from unusual location
---
#### Immediate Response
```bash
# 1. Disable account
UPDATE users SET disabled = true WHERE id = <USER_ID>;
# 2. Preserve evidence
cp /var/log/* /forensics/
# 3. Assess damage
# What data was accessed?
# What data was exported?
# What systems were compromised?
# 4. Legal/compliance notification
# GDPR: Notify within 72 hours
# HIPAA: Notify within 60 days
# PCI-DSS: Immediate notification
# 5. Incident report
```
---

# UI/Frontend Diagnostics
**Purpose**: Troubleshoot frontend performance, rendering, and user experience issues.
## Common UI Issues
### 1. Slow Page Load
**Symptoms**:
- Users report long loading times
- Lighthouse score <50
- Time to Interactive (TTI) >5 seconds
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Bundle Size
```bash
# Check JavaScript bundle size
ls -lh dist/*.js
# Analyze bundle composition
npx webpack-bundle-analyzer dist/stats.json
# Check for large dependencies
npm ls --depth=0
```
**Red flags**:
- Main bundle >500KB
- Unused dependencies in bundle
- Multiple copies of same library
**Mitigation**:
- Code splitting: `import()` for dynamic imports
- Tree shaking: Remove unused code
- Lazy loading: Load components on demand
---
#### Check Network Requests
```bash
# Chrome DevTools → Network tab
# Look for:
# - Number of requests (>100 = too many)
# - Large assets (images >200KB)
# - Slow API calls (>1s)
```
**Red flags**:
- Waterfall pattern (sequential loading)
- Large uncompressed images
- Blocking requests
**Mitigation**:
- Image optimization: WebP, lazy loading
- HTTP/2: Multiplexing
- CDN: Cache static assets
---
#### Check Render Performance
```bash
# Chrome DevTools → Performance tab
# Record page load, check:
# - Long tasks (>50ms)
# - Layout thrashing
# - JavaScript execution time
```
**Red flags**:
- Long tasks blocking main thread
- Multiple layout recalculations
- Heavy JavaScript computation
**Mitigation**:
- Web Workers: Move heavy computation off main thread
- requestIdleCallback: Defer non-critical work
- Virtual scrolling: Render only visible items
---
### 2. Memory Leak (UI)
**Symptoms**:
- Browser tab becomes slow over time
- Memory usage increases continuously
- Browser eventually crashes
**Diagnosis**:
#### Chrome DevTools → Memory
```bash
# Take heap snapshot before/after user interaction
# Compare snapshots
# Look for:
# - Detached DOM nodes
# - Event listeners not removed
# - Growing arrays/objects
```
**Red flags**:
- Detached DOM elements increasing
- Event listeners not garbage collected
- Timers/intervals not cleared
**Mitigation**:
```javascript
// Clean up event listeners
componentWillUnmount() {
element.removeEventListener('click', handler);
clearInterval(this.intervalId);
clearTimeout(this.timeoutId);
}
// Use WeakMap for DOM references
const cache = new WeakMap();
```
---
### 3. Unresponsive UI
**Symptoms**:
- Clicks don't register
- Input lag
- Frozen UI
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Main Thread
```bash
# Chrome DevTools → Performance
# Look for:
# - Long tasks (>50ms)
# - Blocking JavaScript
# - Forced synchronous layout
```
**Red flags**:
- JavaScript blocking >100ms
- Synchronous XHR requests
- Layout thrashing (read → write → read)
**Mitigation**:
```javascript
// Break up long tasks
async function processLargeArray(items) {
for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
await processItem(items[i]);
// Yield to main thread every 100 items
if (i % 100 === 0) {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 0));
}
}
}
// Use requestIdleCallback
requestIdleCallback(() => {
// Non-critical work
});
```
---
### 4. White Screen / Failed Render
**Symptoms**:
- Blank page
- Error boundary triggered
- Console errors
**Diagnosis**:
#### Check Console Errors
```bash
# Chrome DevTools → Console
# Look for:
# - Uncaught exceptions
# - Network errors (failed chunks)
# - CORS errors
```
**Common causes**:
- JavaScript error in render
- Failed to load chunk (code splitting)
- CORS blocking API calls
- Missing dependencies
**Mitigation**:
```javascript
// Error boundary
class ErrorBoundary extends React.Component {
componentDidCatch(error, errorInfo) {
logErrorToService(error, errorInfo);
}
render() {
if (this.state.hasError) {
return <ErrorFallback />;
}
return this.props.children;
}
}
// Retry failed chunk loads
const retryImport = (fn, retriesLeft = 3) => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
fn()
.then(resolve)
.catch(error => {
if (retriesLeft === 0) {
reject(error);
} else {
setTimeout(() => {
retryImport(fn, retriesLeft - 1).then(resolve, reject);
}, 1000);
}
});
});
};
```
---
## UI Performance Metrics
**Core Web Vitals**:
- **LCP** (Largest Contentful Paint): <2.5s (good), <4s (needs improvement), >4s (poor)
- **FID** (First Input Delay): <100ms (good), <300ms (needs improvement), >300ms (poor)
- **CLS** (Cumulative Layout Shift): <0.1 (good), <0.25 (needs improvement), >0.25 (poor)
**Other Metrics**:
- **TTFB** (Time to First Byte): <200ms
- **FCP** (First Contentful Paint): <1.8s
- **TTI** (Time to Interactive): <3.8s
**Measurement**:
```javascript
// Web Vitals library
import {getLCP, getFID, getCLS} from 'web-vitals';
getLCP(console.log);
getFID(console.log);
getCLS(console.log);
```
---
## Common UI Anti-Patterns
### 1. Render Everything Upfront
**Problem**: Rendering 10,000 items at once
**Solution**: Virtual scrolling, pagination, infinite scroll
### 2. No Code Splitting
**Problem**: 5MB JavaScript bundle loaded upfront
**Solution**: Route-based code splitting, lazy loading
### 3. Large Images
**Problem**: 5MB PNG images
**Solution**: WebP, compression, lazy loading, responsive images
### 4. Blocking JavaScript
**Problem**: Heavy computation on main thread
**Solution**: Web Workers, requestIdleCallback, async/await
### 5. Memory Leaks
**Problem**: Event listeners not removed, timers not cleared
**Solution**: Cleanup in componentWillUnmount, WeakMap
---

# Playbook: High CPU Usage
## Symptoms
- CPU usage at 80-100%
- Applications slow or unresponsive
- Server lag, SSH slow
- Monitoring alert: "CPU usage >80% for 5 minutes"
## Severity
- **SEV2** if application degraded but functional
- **SEV1** if application unresponsive
## Diagnosis
### Step 1: Identify Top CPU Process
```bash
# Current CPU usage
top -bn1 | head -20
# Top CPU processes
ps aux | sort -nrk 3,3 | head -10
# CPU per thread
top -H -p <PID>
```
**What to look for**:
- Single process using >80% CPU
- Multiple processes all high (system-wide issue)
- System CPU vs user CPU (iowait = disk issue)
---
### Step 2: Identify Process Type
**Application process** (node, java, python):
```bash
# Check application logs
tail -100 /var/log/application.log
# Check for infinite loops, heavy computation
# Check APM for slow endpoints
```
**System process** (kernel, systemd):
```bash
# Check system logs
dmesg | tail -50
journalctl -xe
# Check for hardware issues
```
**Unknown/suspicious process**:
```bash
# Check process details
ps aux | grep <PID>
lsof -p <PID>
# Could be malware (crypto mining)
# See security-incidents.md
```
---
### Step 3: Check If Disk-Related
```bash
# Check iowait
iostat -x 1 5
# If iowait >20%, disk is bottleneck
# See infrastructure.md for disk I/O troubleshooting
```
---
## Mitigation
### Immediate (Now - 5 min)
**Option A: Lower Process Priority**
```bash
# Reduce CPU priority
renice +10 <PID>
# Impact: Process gets less CPU time
# Risk: Low (process still runs, just slower)
```
**Option B: Kill Process** (if application)
```bash
# Graceful shutdown
kill -TERM <PID>
# Force kill (last resort)
kill -KILL <PID>
# Restart service
systemctl restart <service>
# Impact: Process restarts, CPU normalizes
# Risk: Medium (brief downtime)
```
**Option C: Scale Horizontally** (cloud)
```bash
# Add more instances to distribute load
# AWS: Auto Scaling Group
# Azure: Scale Set
# Kubernetes: Horizontal Pod Autoscaler
# Impact: Load distributed across instances
# Risk: Low (no downtime)
```
---
### Short-term (5 min - 1 hour)
**Option A: Optimize Code** (if application bug)
```bash
# Profile application
# Node.js: node --prof
# Java: jstack, jvisualvm
# Python: py-spy
# Identify hot path
# Fix infinite loop, heavy computation
```
**Option B: Add Caching**
```javascript
// Cache expensive computation
const cache = new Map();
function expensiveOperation(input) {
if (cache.has(input)) {
return cache.get(input);
}
const result = /* heavy computation */;
cache.set(input, result);
return result;
}
```
**Option C: Scale Vertically** (cloud)
```bash
# Resize to larger instance type
# AWS: Change instance type (t3.medium → t3.large)
# Azure: Resize VM
# Impact: More CPU capacity
# Risk: Medium (brief downtime during resize)
```
---
### Long-term (1 hour+)
- [ ] Add CPU monitoring alert (>70% for 5 min)
- [ ] Optimize application code (reduce computation)
- [ ] Use worker threads for heavy tasks (Node.js)
- [ ] Implement auto-scaling (cloud)
- [ ] Add APM for performance profiling
- [ ] Review architecture (async processing, job queues)
---
## Escalation
**Escalate to developer if**:
- Application code causing issue

# Playbook: Database Deadlock
## Symptoms
- "Deadlock detected" errors in application
- API returning 500 errors
- Transactions timing out
- Database connection pool exhausted
- Monitoring alert: "Deadlock count >0"
## Severity
- **SEV2** if isolated to specific endpoint
- **SEV1** if affecting all database operations
## Diagnosis
### Step 1: Confirm Deadlock (PostgreSQL)
```sql
-- Check for currently locked queries
SELECT
blocked_locks.pid AS blocked_pid,
blocked_activity.usename AS blocked_user,
blocking_locks.pid AS blocking_pid,
blocking_activity.usename AS blocking_user,
blocked_activity.query AS blocked_statement,
blocking_activity.query AS blocking_statement
FROM pg_catalog.pg_locks blocked_locks
JOIN pg_catalog.pg_stat_activity blocked_activity
ON blocked_activity.pid = blocked_locks.pid
JOIN pg_catalog.pg_locks blocking_locks
ON blocking_locks.locktype = blocked_locks.locktype
AND blocking_locks.database IS NOT DISTINCT FROM blocked_locks.database
AND blocking_locks.relation IS NOT DISTINCT FROM blocked_locks.relation
AND blocking_locks.pid != blocked_locks.pid
JOIN pg_catalog.pg_stat_activity blocking_activity
ON blocking_activity.pid = blocking_locks.pid
WHERE NOT blocked_locks.granted;
-- Check deadlock log
SELECT * FROM pg_stat_database WHERE datname = 'your_database';
```
### Step 2: Confirm Deadlock (MySQL)
```sql
-- Show InnoDB status (includes deadlock info)
SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS\G
-- Look for "LATEST DETECTED DEADLOCK" section
-- Shows which transactions were involved
```
---
### Step 3: Identify Deadlock Pattern
**Common Pattern 1: Lock Order Mismatch**
```
Transaction A: Locks row 1, then row 2
Transaction B: Locks row 2, then row 1
→ DEADLOCK
```
**Common Pattern 2: Gap Locks**
```
Transaction A: SELECT ... FOR UPDATE WHERE id BETWEEN 1 AND 10
Transaction B: INSERT INTO table (id) VALUES (5)
→ DEADLOCK
```
**Common Pattern 3: Foreign Key Deadlock**
```
Transaction A: Updates parent table
Transaction B: Inserts into child table
→ DEADLOCK (foreign key check locks)
```
---
## Mitigation
### Immediate (Now - 5 min)
**Option A: Kill Blocking Query** (PostgreSQL)
```sql
-- Terminate blocking process
SELECT pg_terminate_backend(<blocking_pid>);
-- Verify deadlock cleared
SELECT count(*) FROM pg_locks WHERE NOT granted;
-- Should return 0
```
**Option B: Kill Blocking Query** (MySQL)
```sql
-- Show process list
SHOW PROCESSLIST;
-- Kill blocking query
KILL <process_id>;
```
**Option C: Kill Idle Transactions** (PostgreSQL)
```sql
-- Find idle transactions (>5 min)
SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid)
FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE state = 'idle in transaction'
AND state_change < NOW() - INTERVAL '5 minutes';
-- Impact: Frees up locks
-- Risk: Low (transactions are idle)
```
---
### Short-term (5 min - 1 hour)
**Option A: Add Transaction Timeout** (PostgreSQL)
```sql
-- Set statement timeout (30 seconds)
ALTER DATABASE your_database SET statement_timeout = '30s';
-- Or in application:
SET statement_timeout = '30s';
-- Impact: Prevents long-running transactions
-- Risk: Low (transactions should be fast)
```
**Option B: Add Transaction Timeout** (MySQL)
```sql
-- Set lock wait timeout
SET GLOBAL innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 30;
-- Impact: Transactions fail instead of waiting forever
-- Risk: Low (application should handle errors)
```
**Option C: Fix Lock Order in Application**
```javascript
// BAD: Inconsistent lock order
async function transferMoney(fromId, toId, amount) {
await db.query('UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - ? WHERE id = ?', [amount, fromId]);
await db.query('UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + ? WHERE id = ?', [amount, toId]);
}
// GOOD: Consistent lock order
async function transferMoney(fromId, toId, amount) {
const firstId = Math.min(fromId, toId);
const secondId = Math.max(fromId, toId);
await db.query('UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - ? WHERE id = ?', [amount, firstId]);
await db.query('UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + ? WHERE id = ?', [amount, secondId]);
}
```
---
### Long-term (1 hour+)
**Option A: Reduce Transaction Scope**
```javascript
// BAD: Long transaction
BEGIN;
const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ? FOR UPDATE', [userId]);
await sendEmail(user.email); // External call (slow!)
await db.query('UPDATE users SET last_email_sent = NOW() WHERE id = ?', [userId]);
COMMIT;
// GOOD: Short transaction
const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [userId]);
await sendEmail(user.email); // Outside transaction
await db.query('UPDATE users SET last_email_sent = NOW() WHERE id = ?', [userId]);
```
**Option B: Use Optimistic Locking**
```sql
-- Add version column
ALTER TABLE accounts ADD COLUMN version INT DEFAULT 0;
-- Update with version check
UPDATE accounts
SET balance = balance - 100, version = version + 1
WHERE id = 1 AND version = <current_version>;
-- If 0 rows updated, retry with new version
```
**Option C: Review Isolation Level**
```sql
-- PostgreSQL default: READ COMMITTED
-- Most cases: READ COMMITTED is fine
-- Rare cases: REPEATABLE READ or SERIALIZABLE
-- Lower isolation = less locking = fewer deadlocks
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED;
```
---
## Escalation
**Escalate to developer if**:
- Application code causing deadlock
- Requires code refactoring
**Escalate to DBA if**:
- Database configuration issue
- Foreign key constraint problem
---
## Prevention
- [ ] Always lock in same order
- [ ] Keep transactions short
- [ ] Use timeout (statement_timeout, lock_wait_timeout)
- [ ] Use optimistic locking when possible
- [ ] Add deadlock monitoring alert
- [ ] Review isolation level (lower = fewer deadlocks)

# Playbook: Memory Leak
## Symptoms
- Memory usage increasing continuously over time
- Application crashes with OutOfMemoryError (Java) or "JavaScript heap out of memory" (Node.js)
- Performance degrades over time
- High swap usage
- Monitoring alert: "Memory usage >90%"
## Severity
- **SEV2** if memory increasing but not yet critical
- **SEV1** if application crashed or unresponsive
## Diagnosis
### Step 1: Confirm Memory Leak
```bash
# Monitor memory over time (5 minute intervals)
watch -n 300 'ps aux | grep <process> | awk "{print \$4, \$5, \$6}"'
# Check if memory continuously increasing
# Leak: 20% → 30% → 40% → 50% (linear growth)
# Normal: 30% → 32% → 31% → 30% (stable)
```
---
### Step 2: Get Memory Snapshot
**Java (Heap Dump)**:
```bash
# Get heap dump
jmap -dump:format=b,file=heap.bin <PID>
# Analyze with jhat or VisualVM
jhat heap.bin
# Open http://localhost:7000
# Or use Eclipse Memory Analyzer
```
**Node.js (Heap Snapshot)**:
```bash
# Start with --inspect
node --inspect index.js
# Chrome DevTools → Memory → Take heap snapshot
# Or use heapdump module
const heapdump = require('heapdump');
heapdump.writeSnapshot('/tmp/heap-' + Date.now() + '.heapsnapshot');
```
**Python (Memory Profiler)**:
```bash
# Install memory_profiler
pip install memory_profiler
# Profile function
python -m memory_profiler script.py
```
---
### Step 3: Identify Leak Source
**Look for**:
- Large arrays/objects growing over time
- Detached DOM nodes (if browser/UI)
- Event listeners not removed
- Timers/intervals not cleared
- Closures holding references
- Cache without eviction policy
**Common patterns**:
```javascript
// 1. Global cache growing forever
global.cache = {}; // Never cleared
// 2. Event listeners not removed
emitter.on('event', handler); // Never removed
// 3. Timers not cleared
setInterval(() => { /* ... */ }, 1000); // Never cleared
// 4. Closures
function createHandler() {
const largeData = new Array(1000000);
return () => {
// Closure keeps largeData in memory
};
}
```
---
## Mitigation
### Immediate (Now - 5 min)
**Option A: Restart Application**
```bash
# Restart to free memory
systemctl restart application
# Impact: Memory usage returns to baseline
# Risk: Low (brief downtime)
# NOTE: This is temporary, leak will recur!
```
**Option B: Increase Memory Limit** (temporary)
```bash
# Java
java -Xmx4G -jar application.jar # Was 2G
# Node.js
node --max-old-space-size=4096 index.js # Was 2048
# Impact: Buys time to find root cause
# Risk: Low (but doesn't fix leak)
```
**Option C: Scale Horizontally** (cloud)
```bash
# Add more instances
# Use load balancer to rotate traffic
# Restart instances on schedule (e.g., every 6 hours)
# Impact: Distributes load, restarts prevent OOM
# Risk: Low (but doesn't fix root cause)
```
---
### Short-term (5 min - 1 hour)
**Analyze heap dump** and identify leak source
**Common Fixes**:
**1. Add LRU Cache**
```javascript
// BAD: Unbounded cache
const cache = {};
// GOOD: LRU cache with size limit
const LRU = require('lru-cache');
const cache = new LRU({ max: 1000 });
```
**2. Remove Event Listeners**
```javascript
// Add listener
const handler = () => { /* ... */ };
emitter.on('event', handler);
// CRITICAL: Remove later
emitter.off('event', handler);
// React/Vue: cleanup in componentWillUnmount/onUnmounted
```
**3. Clear Timers**
```javascript
// Set timer
const intervalId = setInterval(() => { /* ... */ }, 1000);
// CRITICAL: Clear later
clearInterval(intervalId);
// React: cleanup in useEffect return
useEffect(() => {
const id = setInterval(() => { /* ... */ }, 1000);
return () => clearInterval(id);
}, []);
```
**4. Close Connections**
```javascript
// BAD: Connection leak
const conn = await db.connect();
await conn.query(/* ... */);
// Connection never closed!
// GOOD: Always close
const conn = await db.connect();
try {
await conn.query(/* ... */);
} finally {
await conn.close(); // CRITICAL
}
```
---
### Long-term (1 hour+)
- [ ] Add memory monitoring (alert if >80% and increasing)
- [ ] Add memory profiling to CI/CD (detect leaks early)
- [ ] Use WeakMap for caches (auto garbage collected)
- [ ] Review closure usage (avoid holding large data)
- [ ] Add automated restart (every N hours, if leak can't be fixed immediately)
- [ ] Load test to reproduce leak in test environment
- [ ] Fix root cause in code
---
## Escalation
**Escalate to developer if**:
- Application code causing leak
- Requires code fix
**Escalate to platform team if**:
- Platform/framework bug
- Requires upgrade or workaround
---
## Prevention Checklist
- [ ] Use LRU cache (not unbounded)
- [ ] Remove event listeners in cleanup
- [ ] Clear timers/intervals
- [ ] Close database connections (use `finally`)
- [ ] Avoid closures holding large data
- [ ] Use WeakMap for temporary caches
- [ ] Profile memory in development
- [ ] Load test before production

# Playbook: Slow API Response
## Symptoms
- API response time >1 second (degraded)
- API response time >5 seconds (critical)
- Users reporting slow loading
- Timeout errors (504 Gateway Timeout)
- Monitoring alert: "p95 response time >1s"
## Severity
- **SEV3** if response time 1-3 seconds
- **SEV2** if response time 3-5 seconds
- **SEV1** if response time >5 seconds or timeouts
## Diagnosis
### Step 1: Check Application Logs
```bash
# Find slow requests
grep "duration" /var/log/application.log | awk '{if ($5 > 1000) print}'
# Identify slow endpoint
awk '/duration/ {print $3, $5}' /var/log/application.log | sort -nk2 | tail -20
# Example output:
# /api/dashboard 8200ms ← SLOW
# /api/users 50ms
# /api/posts 120ms
```
---
### Step 2: Measure Response Time Breakdown
**Total response time = Database + Application + Network**
```bash
# Use curl with timing
curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -o /dev/null -s http://api.example.com/endpoint
# curl-format.txt:
# time_namelookup: %{time_namelookup}\n
# time_connect: %{time_connect}\n
# time_starttransfer: %{time_starttransfer}\n
# time_total: %{time_total}\n
```
**Example breakdown**:
```
time_namelookup: 0.005s (DNS)
time_connect: 0.010s (TCP connect)
time_starttransfer: 8.200s (Time to first byte) ← SLOW HERE
time_total: 8.250s
→ Problem is backend processing, not network
```
---
### Step 3: Check Database Query Time
```bash
# Check application logs for query time
grep "query.*duration" /var/log/application.log
# Example:
# query: SELECT * FROM users... duration: 7800ms ← SLOW
```
**If database is slow** → See [database-diagnostics.md](../modules/database-diagnostics.md)
---
### Step 4: Check External API Calls
```bash
# Check logs for external API calls
grep "http.request" /var/log/application.log
# Example:
# http.request: GET https://api.external.com/data duration: 5000ms ← SLOW
```
---
## Mitigation
### Immediate (Now - 5 min)
**Option A: Add Database Index** (if DB is bottleneck)
```sql
-- Example: Missing index on last_login_at
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_users_last_login_at
ON users(last_login_at);
-- Impact: 7.8s → 50ms query time
-- Risk: Low (CONCURRENTLY = no table lock)
```
**Option B: Enable Caching** (if same data requested frequently)
```javascript
// Add Redis cache
const redis = require('redis').createClient();
app.get('/api/dashboard', async (req, res) => {
// Check cache first
const cached = await redis.get('dashboard:' + req.user.id);
if (cached) return res.json(JSON.parse(cached));
// Generate data
const data = await generateDashboard(req.user.id);
// Cache for 5 minutes
await redis.setex('dashboard:' + req.user.id, 300, JSON.stringify(data));
res.json(data);
});
// Impact: 8s → 10ms (cache hit)
// Risk: Low (data staleness acceptable for dashboard)
```
**Option C: Optimize Query** (if N+1 query)
```javascript
// BAD: N+1 queries
const users = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users');
for (const user of users) {
const posts = await db.query('SELECT * FROM posts WHERE user_id = ?', [user.id]);
user.posts = posts;
}
// GOOD: Single query with JOIN
const users = await db.query(`
SELECT users.*, posts.*
FROM users
LEFT JOIN posts ON posts.user_id = users.id
`);
```
---
### Short-term (5 min - 1 hour)
**Option A: Add Timeout** (if external API is slow)
```javascript
// Add timeout to external API call
const response = await fetch('https://api.external.com/data', {
timeout: 2000, // 2 second timeout
});
// If timeout, use fallback data
if (!response.ok) {
return fallbackData;
}
// Impact: Prevents slow external API from blocking response
// Risk: Low (fallback data acceptable)
```
**Option B: Async Processing** (if computation is heavy)
```javascript
// BAD: Synchronous heavy computation
app.post('/api/process', async (req, res) => {
const result = await heavyComputation(req.body); // 10 seconds
res.json(result);
});
// GOOD: Async processing with job queue
app.post('/api/process', async (req, res) => {
const jobId = await queue.add('process', req.body);
res.status(202).json({ jobId, status: 'processing' });
});
// Client polls for result
app.get('/api/job/:id', async (req, res) => {
const job = await queue.getJob(req.params.id);
res.json({ status: job.status, result: job.result });
});
// Impact: API responds immediately (202 Accepted)
// Risk: Low (client needs to handle async pattern)
```
**Option C: Pagination** (if returning large dataset)
```javascript
// BAD: Return all 10,000 records
app.get('/api/users', async (req, res) => {
const users = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users');
res.json(users); // Huge payload
});
// GOOD: Pagination
app.get('/api/users', async (req, res) => {
const page = parseInt(req.query.page) || 1;
const limit = 50;
const offset = (page - 1) * limit;
const users = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users LIMIT ? OFFSET ?', [limit, offset]);
res.json({ data: users, page, limit });
});
// Impact: 8s → 200ms (smaller dataset)
// Risk: Low (clients usually want pagination anyway)
```
---
### Long-term (1 hour+)
- [ ] Add response time monitoring (p95, p99)
- [ ] Add APM (Application Performance Monitoring)
- [ ] Optimize database queries (add indexes, reduce JOINs)
- [ ] Add caching layer (Redis, Memcached)
- [ ] Implement pagination for large datasets
- [ ] Move heavy computation to background jobs
- [ ] Add timeout for external APIs
- [ ] Add E2E test: API response <1s
- [ ] Review and optimize N+1 queries
---
## Common Root Causes
| Symptom | Root Cause | Solution |
|---------|------------|----------|
| 7.8s query time | Missing database index | CREATE INDEX |
| 10,000 records returned | No pagination | Add LIMIT/OFFSET |
| 50 queries for 1 request | N+1 query problem | Use JOIN or DataLoader |
| 5s external API call | No timeout | Add timeout + fallback |
| Heavy computation | Sync processing | Async job queue |
| Same data fetched repeatedly | No caching | Add Redis cache |
---
## Escalation
**Escalate to developer if**:
- Application code needs optimization
- N+1 query problem
**Escalate to DBA if**:
- Database performance issue
- Need help with query optimization
**Escalate to external team if**:
- External API consistently slow
- Need to negotiate SLA

# Playbook: DDoS Attack
## Symptoms
- Sudden traffic spike (10x-100x normal)
- Legitimate users can't access service
- High bandwidth usage (saturated)
- Server overload (CPU, memory, network)
- Monitoring alert: "Traffic spike", "Bandwidth >90%"
## Severity
- **SEV1** - Production service unavailable due to attack
## Diagnosis
### Step 1: Confirm Traffic Spike
```bash
# Check current connections
netstat -ntu | wc -l
# Compare to baseline (normal: 100-500, attack: 10,000+)
# Check requests per second (nginx)
tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log | awk '{print $4}' | uniq -c
```
---
### Step 2: Identify Attack Pattern
**Check connections by IP**:
```bash
# Top 20 IPs by connection count
netstat -ntu | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20
# Example output:
# 5000 192.168.1.100 ← Attacker IP
# 3000 192.168.1.101 ← Attacker IP
# 2 192.168.1.200 ← Legitimate user
```
**Check HTTP requests by IP** (nginx):
```bash
awk '{print $1}' /var/log/nginx/access.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20
```
**Check request patterns**:
```bash
# Check requested URLs
awk '{print $7}' /var/log/nginx/access.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20
# Check user agents (bots often have telltale user agents)
awk -F'"' '{print $6}' /var/log/nginx/access.log | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
```
---
### Step 3: Classify Attack Type
**HTTP Flood** (application layer):
- Many HTTP requests from distributed IPs
- Valid HTTP requests, just too many
- Example: 10,000 requests/second to homepage
**SYN Flood** (network layer):
- Many TCP SYN packets
- Connection requests never complete
- Exhausts server connection table
**Amplification** (DNS, NTP):
- Small request → Large response
- Attacker spoofs your IP
- Servers send large responses to you
---
## Mitigation
### Immediate (Now - 5 min)
**Option A: Block Attacker IPs** (if few IPs)
```bash
# Block single IP (iptables)
iptables -A INPUT -s <ATTACKER_IP> -j DROP
# Block IP range
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j DROP
# Block specific country (using ipset + GeoIP)
# Advanced, see infrastructure team
# Impact: Blocks attacker, restores service
# Risk: Low (if attacker IPs identified correctly)
```
**Option B: Enable Rate Limiting** (nginx)
```nginx
# Add to nginx.conf
http {
# Define rate limit zone (10 req/s per IP)
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=10r/s;
server {
location / {
# Apply rate limit
limit_req zone=one burst=20 nodelay;
limit_req_status 429;
}
}
}
# Reload nginx
nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx
# Impact: Limits requests per IP
# Risk: Low (legitimate users rarely exceed 10 req/s)
```
**Option C: Enable CloudFlare "Under Attack" Mode**
```bash
# If using CloudFlare:
# 1. Log in to CloudFlare dashboard
# 2. Select domain
# 3. Click "Under Attack Mode"
# 4. Adds JavaScript challenge before serving content
# Impact: Blocks bots, allows legitimate browsers
# Risk: Low (slight user friction)
```
**Option D: Enable AWS Shield** (AWS)
```bash
# AWS Shield Standard: Free, automatic DDoS protection
# AWS Shield Advanced: $3000/month, enhanced protection
# CloudFormation:
aws cloudformation deploy \
--template-file shield.yaml \
--stack-name ddos-protection
# Impact: Absorbs DDoS at AWS edge
# Risk: None (AWS handles)
```
---
### Short-term (5 min - 1 hour)
**Option A: Add Connection Limits**
```nginx
# Limit concurrent connections per IP
limit_conn_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=addr:10m;
server {
location / {
limit_conn addr 10; # Max 10 concurrent connections per IP
}
}
```
**Option B: Add CAPTCHA** (reCAPTCHA)
```html
<!-- Add reCAPTCHA to sensitive endpoints -->
<form action="/login" method="POST">
<input type="email" name="email">
<input type="password" name="password">
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="YOUR_SITE_KEY"></div>
<button type="submit">Login</button>
</form>
```
**Option C: Scale Up** (cloud auto-scaling)
```bash
# AWS: Increase Auto Scaling Group desired capacity
aws autoscaling set-desired-capacity \
--auto-scaling-group-name my-asg \
--desired-capacity 20 # Was 5
# Impact: More capacity to handle attack
# Risk: Medium (costs money, may not fully mitigate)
# NOTE: Only do this if legitimate traffic also spiked
```
---
### Long-term (1 hour+)
- [ ] Enable CloudFlare or AWS Shield (DDoS protection service)
- [ ] Implement rate limiting on all endpoints
- [ ] Add CAPTCHA to login, signup, checkout
- [ ] Configure auto-scaling (handle legitimate traffic spikes)
- [ ] Add monitoring alert for traffic anomalies
- [ ] Create DDoS response plan
- [ ] Contact ISP for upstream filtering (if very large attack)
- [ ] Review and update firewall rules
- [ ] Add geographic blocking (if applicable)
---
## Important Notes
**DO NOT**:
- Scale up indefinitely (attack can grow, costs explode)
- Fight DDoS at application layer alone (use CDN, cloud protection)
**DO**:
- Use CDN/DDoS protection service (CloudFlare, AWS Shield, Akamai)
- Enable rate limiting
- Block attacker IPs/ranges
- Monitor costs (auto-scaling can be expensive)
---
## Escalation
**Escalate to infrastructure team if**:
- Attack very large (>10 Gbps)
- Need upstream filtering at ISP level
**Escalate to security team**:
- All DDoS attacks (for post-mortem, legal action)
**Contact ISP if**:
- Attack saturating internet connection
- Need transit provider to filter
**Contact CloudFlare/AWS if**:
- Using their DDoS protection
- Need assistance enabling features
---
## Prevention Checklist
- [ ] Use CDN (CloudFlare, CloudFront, Akamai)
- [ ] Enable DDoS protection (AWS Shield, CloudFlare)
- [ ] Implement rate limiting (per IP, per user)
- [ ] Add CAPTCHA to sensitive endpoints
- [ ] Configure auto-scaling (within cost limits)
- [ ] Monitor traffic patterns (detect spikes early)
- [ ] Have DDoS response plan ready
- [ ] Test response plan (tabletop exercise)

## Post-Incident
After resolving:
- [ ] Create post-mortem (mandatory for DDoS)
- [ ] Identify attack vectors
- [ ] Document attacker IPs, patterns

# Playbook: Disk Full
## Symptoms
- "No space left on device" errors
- Applications can't write files
- Database refuses writes
- Logs not being written
- Monitoring alert: "Disk usage >90%"
## Severity
- **SEV3** if disk >90% but still functioning
- **SEV2** if disk >95% and applications degraded
- **SEV1** if disk 100% and applications down
## Diagnosis
### Step 1: Check Disk Usage
```bash
# Check disk usage by partition
df -h
# Example output:
# Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
# /dev/sda1 50G 48G 2G 96% / ← CRITICAL
# /dev/sdb1 100G 20G 80G 20% /data
```
---
### Step 2: Find Large Directories
```bash
# Disk usage by top-level directory
du -sh /*
# Example output:
# 15G /var ← Likely logs
# 10G /home
# 5G /usr
# 1G /tmp
# Drill down into large directory
du -sh /var/*
# Example:
# 14G /var/log ← FOUND IT
# 500M /var/cache
```
---
### Step 3: Find Large Files
```bash
# Find files larger than 100MB
find / -type f -size +100M -exec ls -lh {} \; 2>/dev/null | sort -k5 -h -r | head -20
# Example output:
# 5.0G /var/log/application.log ← Large log file
# 2.0G /var/log/nginx/access.log
# 500M /tmp/dump.sql
```
---
### Step 4: Check for Deleted Files Holding Space
```bash
# Files deleted but process still has handle
lsof | grep deleted | awk '{print $1, $2, $7}' | sort -u
# Example output:
# nginx 1234 10G ← nginx has handle to 10GB deleted file
```
**Why this happens**:
- File deleted (`rm /var/log/nginx/access.log`)
- But process (nginx) still writing to it
- Disk space not released until process closes file or restarts
---
## Mitigation
### Immediate (Now - 5 min)
**Option A: Delete Old Logs**
```bash
# Delete old log files (>7 days)
find /var/log -name "*.log.*" -mtime +7 -delete
# Delete compressed logs (>30 days)
find /var/log -name "*.gz" -mtime +30 -delete
# journalctl: Keep only last 7 days
journalctl --vacuum-time=7d
# Impact: Frees disk space immediately
# Risk: Low (old logs not needed for debugging recent issues)
```
**Option B: Compress Logs**
```bash
# Compress large log files
gzip /var/log/application.log
gzip /var/log/nginx/access.log
# Impact: Reduces log file size by 80-90%
# Risk: Low (logs still available, just compressed)
```
**Option C: Release Deleted Files**
```bash
# Find processes holding deleted files
lsof | grep deleted
# Restart process to release space
systemctl restart nginx
# Or kill and restart
kill -HUP <PID>
# Impact: Frees disk space held by deleted files
# Risk: Medium (brief service interruption)
```
**Option D: Clean Temp Files**
```bash
# Delete old temp files
rm -rf /tmp/*
rm -rf /var/tmp/*
# Delete apt/yum cache
apt-get clean # Ubuntu/Debian
yum clean all # RHEL/CentOS
# Delete old kernels (Ubuntu)
apt-get autoremove --purge
# Impact: Frees disk space
# Risk: Low (temp files can be deleted)
```
---
### Short-term (5 min - 1 hour)
**Option A: Rotate Logs Immediately**
```bash
# Force log rotation
logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf
# Verify logs rotated
ls -lh /var/log/
# Configure aggressive rotation (daily instead of weekly)
# Edit /etc/logrotate.d/application:
/var/log/application.log {
daily # Was: weekly
rotate 7 # Keep 7 days
compress # Compress old logs
delaycompress # Don't compress most recent
missingok # Don't error if file missing
notifempty # Don't rotate if empty
create 0640 www-data www-data
sharedscripts
postrotate
systemctl reload application
endscript
}
```
**Option B: Archive Old Data**
```bash
# Archive old database dumps
tar -czf old-dumps.tar.gz /backup/*.sql
rm /backup/*.sql
# Move to cheaper storage (S3, Archive)
aws s3 cp old-dumps.tar.gz s3://archive-bucket/
rm old-dumps.tar.gz
# Impact: Frees local disk space
# Risk: Low (data archived, not deleted)
```
**Option C: Expand Disk** (cloud)
```bash
# AWS: Modify EBS volume
aws ec2 modify-volume --volume-id vol-1234567890abcdef0 --size 100 # Was 50 GB
# Wait for modification to complete (5-10 min)
watch aws ec2 describe-volumes-modifications --volume-ids vol-1234567890abcdef0
# Resize filesystem
# ext4:
sudo resize2fs /dev/xvda1
# xfs:
sudo xfs_growfs /
# Verify
df -h
# Impact: More disk space
# Risk: Low (no downtime, but takes time)
```

---
## Common Culprits
| Location | Cause | Solution |
|----------|-------|----------|
| /var/log | Log files not rotated | logrotate, compress, delete old |
| /tmp | Temp files not cleaned | Delete old files, add cron job |
| /var/cache | Apt/yum cache | apt-get clean, yum clean all |
| /home | User files, downloads | Clean up or expand disk |

# Playbook: Service Down
## Symptoms
- Service not responding
- Health check failures
- 502 Bad Gateway or 503 Service Unavailable
- Users can't access application
- Monitoring alert: "Service down", "Health check failed"
## Severity
- **SEV1** - Production service completely unavailable
## Diagnosis
### Step 1: Check Service Status
```bash
# Check if service is running (systemd)
systemctl status nginx
systemctl status application
systemctl status postgresql
# Check process
ps aux | grep nginx
pidof nginx
# Example output:
# nginx.service - nginx web server
# Active: inactive (dead) ← SERVICE IS DOWN
```
---
### Step 2: Check Why Service Stopped
**Check Service Logs** (systemd):
```bash
# Last 50 lines of service logs
journalctl -u nginx -n 50
# Tail logs in real-time
journalctl -u nginx -f
# Look for:
# - Exit code (0 = normal, non-zero = error)
# - Error messages
# - Crash reason
```
**Check Application Logs**:
```bash
# Check application error log
tail -100 /var/log/application/error.log
# Look for:
# - Exception/error before crash
# - Stack trace
# - "Fatal error", "Segmentation fault"
```
**Check System Logs**:
```bash
# Check for OOM (Out of Memory) killer
dmesg | grep -i "out of memory\|oom\|killed process"
# Example:
# Out of memory: Killed process 1234 (node) total-vm:8GB
# ↑ OOM Killer terminated application
# Check kernel errors
dmesg | tail -50
# Check syslog
grep "error\|segfault" /var/log/syslog
```
---
### Step 3: Identify Root Cause
**Common causes**:
| Symptom | Root Cause |
|---------|------------|
| "Out of memory" in dmesg | OOM Killer (memory leak, insufficient memory) |
| "Segmentation fault" | Application bug (crash) |
| "Address already in use" | Port already bound |
| "Connection refused" to database | Database down |
| "No such file or directory" | Missing config file |
| "Permission denied" | Wrong file permissions |
| Exit code 137 | Killed by OOM Killer |
| Exit code 139 | Segmentation fault |
---
## Mitigation
### Immediate (Now - 5 min)
**Option A: Restart Service**
```bash
# Restart service
systemctl restart nginx
# Check if started successfully
systemctl status nginx
# Test endpoint
curl http://localhost
# Impact: Service restored
# Risk: Low (if root cause not addressed, may crash again)
```
**Option B: Fix Configuration Error** (if config issue)
```bash
# Test configuration
nginx -t # nginx
postgresql --help # postgres
# If config error, check recent changes
git diff HEAD~1 /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# Revert to working config
git checkout HEAD~1 /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# Restart
systemctl restart nginx
```
**Option C: Free Up Resources** (if OOM)
```bash
# Check memory usage
free -h
# Kill memory-heavy processes (non-critical)
kill -9 <PID>
# Free page cache
sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
# Restart service
systemctl restart application
```
**Option D: Change Port** (if port conflict)
```bash
# Check what's using port
lsof -i :80
# Example:
# apache2 1234 root 4u IPv4 12345 0t0 TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
# ↑ Apache using port 80
# Stop conflicting service
systemctl stop apache2
# Start intended service
systemctl start nginx
```
---
### Short-term (5 min - 1 hour)
**Option A: Fix Crash Bug** (if application bug)
```bash
# Check stack trace in logs
tail -100 /var/log/application/error.log
# Identify line causing crash
# Example: NullPointerException at PaymentService.java:42
# Deploy hotfix OR revert to previous version
git checkout <previous-working-commit>
npm run build && pm2 restart all
# Impact: Bug fixed, service stable
# Risk: Medium (need proper testing)
```
**Option B: Increase Memory** (if OOM)
```bash
# Short-term: Increase swap
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=2048
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
# Long-term: Resize instance
# AWS: Change instance type (t3.medium → t3.large)
# Azure: Resize VM
# Impact: More memory available
# Risk: Medium (swap is slow, instance resize has downtime)
```
**Option C: Enable Auto-Restart** (systemd)
```bash
# Edit service file
# /etc/systemd/system/application.service
[Service]
Restart=always # Auto-restart on failure
RestartSec=10 # Wait 10s before restart
StartLimitBurst=5 # Max 5 restarts
StartLimitIntervalSec=60 # In 60 seconds
# Reload systemd
systemctl daemon-reload
# Impact: Service auto-restarts on crash
# Risk: Low (but doesn't fix root cause)
```
**Option D: Route Traffic to Backup** (if multi-instance)
```bash
# If using load balancer:
# 1. Remove failed instance from LB
# 2. Traffic goes to healthy instances
# AWS:
aws elbv2 deregister-targets \
--target-group-arn <arn> \
--targets Id=i-1234567890abcdef0
# Impact: Users see working instance
# Risk: Low (other instances handle load)
```
---
### Long-term (1 hour+)
- [ ] Fix root cause (memory leak, bug, etc.)
- [ ] Add health check monitoring
- [ ] Enable auto-restart (systemd)
- [ ] Set up redundancy (multiple instances)
- [ ] Add load balancer (distribute traffic)
- [ ] Increase memory/CPU (if resource issue)

- [ ] Review deployment process (how did bug reach prod?)
---
## Root Cause Analysis
**For each incident, determine**:
1. **What failed?** (nginx, application, database)
2. **Why did it fail?** (OOM, bug, config error)
3. **What triggered it?** (deploy, traffic spike, external event)
4. **How to prevent?** (fix bug, add monitoring, increase capacity)
---
## Escalation
**Escalate to developer if**:
- Application crash due to bug
- Need code fix
**Escalate to platform team if**:
- Platform/framework issue

# Playbook: Data Corruption
## Symptoms
- Users report incorrect data
- Database integrity constraint violations
- Foreign key errors
- Application errors due to unexpected data
- Failed backups (checksum mismatch)
- Monitoring alert: "Data integrity check failed"
## Severity
- **SEV1** - Critical data corrupted (financial, health, legal)
- **SEV2** - Non-critical data corrupted (user profiles, cache)
- **SEV3** - Recoverable corruption (can restore from backup)
## Diagnosis
### Step 1: Confirm Corruption
**Database Integrity Check** (PostgreSQL):
```sql
-- Check for corruption
SELECT * FROM pg_catalog.pg_database WHERE datname = 'your_database';
-- Verify checksums (if enabled)
SELECT datname, datcollate, datctype
FROM pg_database
WHERE datname = 'your_database';
-- Check for bloat
SELECT schemaname, tablename, pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename))
FROM pg_tables
ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||tablename) DESC;
```
**Database Integrity Check** (MySQL):
```sql
-- Check table for corruption
CHECK TABLE users;
-- Repair table (if corrupted)
REPAIR TABLE users;
-- Optimize table (defragment)
OPTIMIZE TABLE users;
```
---
### Step 2: Identify Scope
**Questions to answer**:
- Which tables/data are affected?
- How many records corrupted?
- When did corruption start?
- What's the impact on users?
**Check Database Logs**:
```bash
# PostgreSQL
grep "ERROR\|FATAL\|PANIC" /var/log/postgresql/postgresql.log
# MySQL
grep "ERROR" /var/log/mysql/error.log
# Look for:
# - Constraint violations
# - Foreign key errors
# - Checksum errors
# - Disk I/O errors
```
---
### Step 3: Determine Root Cause
**Common causes**:
| Cause | Symptoms |
|-------|----------|
| Disk corruption | I/O errors in dmesg, checksum failures |
| Application bug | Logical corruption (wrong data, not random) |
| Failed migration | Schema mismatch, foreign key violations |
| Concurrent writes | Race condition, duplicate records |
| Hardware failure | Random corruption, unrelated records |
| Malicious attack | Deliberate data modification |
**Check for Disk Errors**:
```bash
# Check disk errors
dmesg | grep -i "I/O error\|disk error"
# Check SMART status
smartctl -a /dev/sda
# Look for: Reallocated_Sector_Ct, Current_Pending_Sector
```
---
## Mitigation
### Immediate (Now - 5 min)
**CRITICAL: Preserve Evidence**
```bash
# 1. STOP ALL WRITES (prevent further corruption)
# Put application in read-only mode OR
# Take application offline
# 2. Snapshot/backup current state (even if corrupted)
# PostgreSQL:
pg_dump your_database > /backup/corrupted-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).sql
# MySQL:
mysqldump your_database > /backup/corrupted-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).sql
# 3. Snapshot disk (cloud)
# AWS:
aws ec2 create-snapshot --volume-id vol-1234567890abcdef0 --description "Corruption snapshot"
# Impact: Preserves evidence for forensics
# Risk: None (read-only operations)
```
**CRITICAL: DO NOT**:
- Delete corrupted data (may need for forensics)
- Run REPAIR TABLE (may destroy evidence)
- Restart database (may clear logs)
---
### Short-term (5 min - 1 hour)
**Option A: Restore from Backup** (if recent clean backup)
```bash
# 1. Identify last known good backup
ls -lh /backup/ | grep pg_dump
# Example:
# backup-20251026-0200.sql ← Clean backup (before corruption)
# backup-20251026-0800.sql ← Corrupted
# 2. Restore from clean backup
# PostgreSQL:
psql your_database < /backup/backup-20251026-0200.sql
# MySQL:
mysql your_database < /backup/backup-20251026-0200.sql
# 3. Verify data integrity
# Run application tests
# Check user-reported issues
# Impact: Data restored to clean state
# Risk: Medium (lose data after backup time)
```
**Option B: Repair Corrupted Records** (if isolated corruption)
```sql
-- Identify corrupted records
SELECT * FROM users WHERE email IS NULL; -- Should not be null
-- Fix corrupted records
UPDATE users SET email = 'unknown@example.com' WHERE email IS NULL;
-- Verify fix
SELECT count(*) FROM users WHERE email IS NULL; -- Should be 0
-- Impact: Corruption fixed
-- Risk: Low (if corruption is known and fixable)
```
**Option C: Point-in-Time Recovery** (PostgreSQL)
```bash
# If WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) enabled:
# 1. Determine recovery point (before corruption)
# 2025-10-26 07:00:00 (corruption detected at 08:00)
# 2. Restore from base backup + WAL
pg_basebackup -D /var/lib/postgresql/data-recovery
# 3. Configure recovery.conf
# recovery_target_time = '2025-10-26 07:00:00'
# 4. Start PostgreSQL (will replay WAL until target time)
systemctl start postgresql
# Impact: Restore to exact point before corruption
# Risk: Low (if WAL available)
```

# Playbook: Cascade Failure
## Symptoms
- Multiple services failing simultaneously
- Failures spreading across services
- Dependency services timing out
- Error rate increasing exponentially
- Monitoring alert: "Multiple services degraded", "Cascade detected"
## Severity
- **SEV1** - Cascade affecting production services
## What is a Cascade Failure?
**Definition**: One service failure triggers failures in dependent services, spreading through the system.
**Example**:
```
Database slow (2s queries)
API times out waiting for database (5s timeout)
Frontend times out waiting for API (10s timeout)
Load balancer marks frontend unhealthy
Traffic routes to other frontends (overload them)
All frontends fail → Complete outage
```
---
## Diagnosis
### Step 1: Identify Initial Failure Point
**Check Service Dependencies**:
```
Frontend → API → Database
Cache (Redis)
Queue (RabbitMQ)
External API
```
**Find the root**:
```bash
# Check service health (start with leaf dependencies)
# 1. Database
psql -c "SELECT 1"
# 2. Cache
redis-cli PING
# 3. Queue
rabbitmqctl status
# 4. External API
curl https://api.external.com/health
# First failure = likely root cause
```
---
### Step 2: Trace Failure Propagation
**Check Service Logs** (in order):
```bash
# Database logs (first)
tail -100 /var/log/postgresql/postgresql.log
# API logs (second)
tail -100 /var/log/api/error.log
# Frontend logs (third)
tail -100 /var/log/frontend/error.log
```
**Look for timestamps**:
```
14:00:00 - Database: Slow query (7s) ← ROOT CAUSE
14:00:05 - API: Timeout error
14:00:10 - Frontend: API unavailable
14:00:15 - Load balancer: All frontends unhealthy
```
---
### Step 3: Assess Cascade Depth
**How many layers affected?**
- **1 layer**: Database only (isolated failure)
- **2-3 layers**: Database → API → Frontend (cascade)
- **4+ layers**: Full system cascade (critical)
---
## Mitigation
### Immediate (Now - 5 min)
**PRIORITY: Stop the cascade from spreading**
**Option A: Circuit Breaker** (if not already enabled)
```javascript
// Enable circuit breaker manually
// Prevents API from overwhelming database
const CircuitBreaker = require('opossum');
const dbQuery = new CircuitBreaker(queryDatabase, {
timeout: 3000, // 3s timeout
errorThresholdPercentage: 50, // Open after 50% failures
resetTimeout: 30000 // Try again after 30s
});
dbQuery.on('open', () => {
console.log('Circuit breaker OPEN - using fallback');
});
// Use fallback when circuit open
dbQuery.fallback(() => {
return cachedData; // Return cached data instead
});
```
**Option B: Rate Limiting** (protect downstream)
```nginx
# Limit requests to database (nginx)
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=api:10m rate=10r/s;
location /api/ {
limit_req zone=api burst=20 nodelay;
proxy_pass http://api-backend;
}
```
**Option C: Shed Load** (reject non-critical requests)
```javascript
// Reject non-critical requests when overloaded
app.use((req, res, next) => {
const load = getCurrentLoad(); // CPU, memory, queue depth
if (load > 0.8 && !isCriticalEndpoint(req.path)) {
return res.status(503).json({
error: 'Service overloaded, try again later'
});
}
next();
});
function isCriticalEndpoint(path) {
return ['/api/health', '/api/payment'].includes(path);
}
```
**Option D: Isolate Failure** (take failing service offline)
```bash
# Remove failing service from load balancer
# AWS ELB:
aws elbv2 deregister-targets \
--target-group-arn <arn> \
--targets Id=i-1234567890abcdef0
# nginx:
# Comment out failing backend in upstream block
# upstream api {
# server api1.example.com; # Healthy
# # server api2.example.com; # FAILING - commented out
# }
# Impact: Prevents failing service from affecting others
# Risk: Reduced capacity
```
---
### Short-term (5 min - 1 hour)
**Option A: Fix Root Cause**
**If database slow**:
```sql
-- Add missing index
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY idx_users_last_login ON users(last_login_at);
```
**If external API slow**:
```javascript
// Add timeout + fallback
const response = await fetch('https://api.external.com', {
timeout: 2000 // 2s timeout
});
if (!response.ok) {
return fallbackData; // Don't cascade failure
}
```
**If service overloaded**:
```bash
# Scale horizontally (add more instances)
# AWS Auto Scaling:
aws autoscaling set-desired-capacity \
--auto-scaling-group-name my-asg \
--desired-capacity 10 # Was 5
```
---
**Option B: Add Timeouts** (prevent indefinite waiting)
```javascript
// Database query timeout
const result = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users', {
timeout: 3000 // 3 second timeout
});
// API call timeout
const response = await fetch('/api/data', {
signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000) // 5 second timeout
});
// Impact: Fail fast instead of cascading
// Risk: Low (better to timeout than cascade)
```
---
**Option C: Add Bulkheads** (isolate critical paths)
```javascript
// Separate connection pools for critical vs non-critical
const criticalPool = new Pool({ max: 10 }); // Payments, auth
const nonCriticalPool = new Pool({ max: 5 }); // Analytics, reports
// Critical requests get priority
app.post('/api/payment', async (req, res) => {
const conn = await criticalPool.connect();
// ...
});
// Non-critical requests use separate pool
app.get('/api/analytics', async (req, res) => {
const conn = await nonCriticalPool.connect();
// ...
});
// Impact: Critical paths protected from non-critical load
// Risk: None (isolation improves reliability)
```
---
### Long-term (1 hour+)
**Architecture Improvements**:
- [ ] **Circuit Breakers** (all external dependencies)
- [ ] **Timeouts** (every network call, database query)
- [ ] **Retries with exponential backoff** (transient failures)
- [ ] **Bulkheads** (isolate critical paths)
- [ ] **Rate limiting** (protect downstream services)
- [ ] **Graceful degradation** (fallback data, cached responses)
- [ ] **Health checks** (detect failures early)
- [ ] **Auto-scaling** (handle load spikes)
- [ ] **Chaos engineering** (test cascade scenarios)
---
## Cascade Prevention Patterns
### 1. Circuit Breaker Pattern
```javascript
const breaker = new CircuitBreaker(riskyOperation, {
timeout: 3000,
errorThresholdPercentage: 50,
resetTimeout: 30000
});
breaker.fallback(() => cachedData);
```
**Benefits**:
- Fast failure (don't wait for timeout)
- Automatic recovery (reset after timeout)
- Fallback data (graceful degradation)
---
### 2. Timeout Pattern
```javascript
// ALWAYS set timeouts
const response = await fetch('/api', {
signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000)
});
```
**Benefits**:
- Fail fast (don't cascade indefinite waits)
- Predictable behavior
---
### 3. Bulkhead Pattern
```javascript
// Separate resource pools
const criticalPool = new Pool({ max: 10 });
const nonCriticalPool = new Pool({ max: 5 });
```
**Benefits**:
- Critical paths protected
- Non-critical load can't exhaust resources
---
### 4. Retry with Backoff
```javascript
async function retryWithBackoff(fn, retries = 3) {
for (let i = 0; i < retries; i++) {
try {
return await fn();
} catch (error) {
if (i === retries - 1) throw error;
await sleep(Math.pow(2, i) * 1000); // 1s, 2s, 4s
}
}
}
```
**Benefits**:
- Handles transient failures
- Exponential backoff prevents thundering herd
---
### 5. Load Shedding
```javascript
// Reject requests when overloaded
if (queueDepth > threshold) {
return res.status(503).send('Overloaded');
}
```
**Benefits**:
- Prevent overload
- Protect downstream services
---
## Escalation
**Escalate to architecture team if**:
- System-wide cascade
- Architectural changes needed
**Escalate to all service owners if**:
- Multiple teams affected
- Need coordinated response
**Escalate to management if**:
- Complete outage
- Large customer impact
---
## Prevention Checklist
- [ ] Circuit breakers on all external calls
- [ ] Timeouts on all network operations
- [ ] Retries with exponential backoff
- [ ] Bulkheads for critical paths
- [ ] Rate limiting (protect downstream)
- [ ] Health checks (detect failures early)
- [ ] Auto-scaling (handle load)
- [ ] Graceful degradation (fallback data)
- [ ] Chaos engineering (test failure scenarios)
- [ ] Load testing (find breaking points)

---
## Post-Incident
After resolving:
- [ ] Create post-mortem (MANDATORY for cascade failures)
- [ ] Draw cascade diagram (which services failed in order)
- [ ] Identify missing safeguards (circuit breakers, timeouts)
- [ ] Implement prevention patterns
- [ ] Test cascade scenarios (chaos engineering)
- [ ] Update this runbook if needed
---
## Cascade Failure Examples
**Netflix Outage (2012)**:
- Database latency → API timeouts → Frontend failures → Complete outage
- **Fix**: Circuit breakers, timeouts, fallback data
**AWS S3 Outage (2017)**:
- S3 down → Websites using S3 fail → Status dashboards fail (also on S3)
- **Fix**: Multi-region redundancy, fallback to different regions
**Google Cloud Outage (2019)**:
- Network misconfiguration → Internal services fail → External services cascade
- **Fix**: Network configuration validation, staged rollouts
---
## Key Takeaways
1. **Cascades happen when failures propagate** (no circuit breakers, timeouts)
2. **Fix the root cause first** (not the symptoms)
3. **Fail fast, don't cascade waits** (timeouts everywhere)
4. **Graceful degradation** (fallback > failure)
5. **Test failure scenarios** (chaos engineering)

# Playbook: Rate Limit Exceeded
## Symptoms
- "Rate limit exceeded" errors
- "429 Too Many Requests" responses
- "Quota exceeded" messages
- Legitimate requests being blocked
- Monitoring alert: "High rate of 429 errors"
## Severity
- **SEV3** if isolated to specific users/endpoints
- **SEV2** if affecting many users
- **SEV1** if critical functionality blocked (payments, auth)
## Diagnosis
### Step 1: Identify What's Rate Limited
**Check Error Messages**:
```bash
# Application logs
grep "rate limit\|429\|quota exceeded" /var/log/application.log
# nginx logs
awk '$9 == 429 {print $1, $7}' /var/log/nginx/access.log | sort | uniq -c
# Example output:
# 500 192.168.1.100 /api/users ← IP hitting rate limit
# 200 192.168.1.101 /api/posts
```
**Check Rate Limit Source**:
- **Application-level**: Your code enforcing limit
- **nginx/API Gateway**: Reverse proxy rate limiting
- **External API**: Third-party service limit (Stripe, Twilio, etc.)
- **Cloud**: AWS API Gateway, CloudFlare
---
### Step 2: Determine If Legitimate or Malicious
**Legitimate traffic**:
```
Scenario: User refreshing dashboard repeatedly
Pattern: Single user, single endpoint, short burst
Action: Increase rate limit or add caching
```
**Malicious traffic** (abuse):
```
Scenario: Scraper or bot
Pattern: Multiple IPs, automated behavior, sustained
Action: Block IPs, add CAPTCHA
```
**Traffic spike** (legitimate):
```
Scenario: Marketing campaign, viral post
Pattern: Many users, distributed IPs, real user behavior
Action: Increase rate limit, scale up
```
---
### Step 3: Check Current Rate Limits
**nginx**:
```nginx
# Check nginx.conf
grep "limit_req" /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# Example:
# limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=10r/s;
# ^^^^ Current limit
```
**Application** (Express.js example):
```javascript
// Check rate limit middleware
const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');
const limiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 minutes
max: 100, // Limit: 100 requests per 15 minutes
});
```
**External API**:
```bash
# Check external API documentation
# Stripe: 100 requests per second
# Twilio: 100 requests per second
# Google Maps: $200/month free quota
# Check current usage
# Stripe:
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/balance \
-u sk_test_XXX: \
-H "Stripe-Account: acct_XXX"
# Response headers:
# X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
# X-RateLimit-Remaining: 45 ← 45 requests left
```
---
## Mitigation
### Immediate (Now - 5 min)
**Option A: Increase Rate Limit** (if legitimate traffic)
**nginx**:
```nginx
# Edit /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# Increase from 10r/s to 50r/s
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=50r/s;
# Test and reload
nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx
# Impact: Allows more requests
# Risk: Low (if traffic is legitimate)
```
**Application** (Express.js):
```javascript
// Increase from 100 to 500 requests per 15 min
const limiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
max: 500, // Increased
});
// Restart application
pm2 restart all
```
---
**Option B: Whitelist Specific IPs** (if known legitimate source)
**nginx**:
```nginx
# Whitelist internal IPs, monitoring systems
geo $limit {
default 1;
10.0.0.0/8 0; # Internal network
192.168.1.100 0; # Monitoring system
}
map $limit $limit_key {
0 "";
1 $binary_remote_addr;
}
limit_req_zone $limit_key zone=one:10m rate=10r/s;
```
**Application**:
```javascript
const limiter = rateLimit({
skip: (req) => {
// Whitelist internal IPs
return req.ip.startsWith('10.') || req.ip === '192.168.1.100';
},
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
max: 100,
});
```
---
**Option C: Add Caching** (reduce requests to backend)
**Redis cache**:
```javascript
const redis = require('redis').createClient();
app.get('/api/users', async (req, res) => {
// Check cache first
const cached = await redis.get('users:' + req.query.id);
if (cached) {
return res.json(JSON.parse(cached));
}
// Fetch from database
const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [req.query.id]);
// Cache for 5 minutes
await redis.setex('users:' + req.query.id, 300, JSON.stringify(user));
res.json(user);
});
// Impact: Reduces backend load, fewer rate limit hits
// Risk: Low (data staleness acceptable)
```
---
**Option D: Block Malicious IPs** (if abuse detected)
**nginx**:
```bash
# Block specific IP
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.100 -j DROP
# Or in nginx.conf:
deny 192.168.1.100;
deny 192.168.1.0/24; # Block range
```
**CloudFlare**:
```
# CloudFlare dashboard:
# Security → WAF → Custom rules
# Block IP: 192.168.1.100
```
---
### Short-term (5 min - 1 hour)
**Option A: Implement Tiered Rate Limits**
**Different limits for different users**:
```javascript
const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');
const createLimiter = (max) => rateLimit({
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
max: max,
keyGenerator: (req) => req.user?.id || req.ip,
});
app.use('/api', (req, res, next) => {
let limiter;
if (req.user?.tier === 'premium') {
limiter = createLimiter(1000); // Premium: 1000 req/15min
} else if (req.user) {
limiter = createLimiter(300); // Authenticated: 300 req/15min
} else {
limiter = createLimiter(100); // Anonymous: 100 req/15min
}
limiter(req, res, next);
});
```
---
**Option B: Add CAPTCHA** (prevent bots)
**reCAPTCHA** on sensitive endpoints:
```javascript
const { recaptcha } = require('express-recaptcha');
app.post('/api/login', recaptcha.middleware.verify, async (req, res) => {
if (!req.recaptcha.error) {
// CAPTCHA valid, proceed with login
await handleLogin(req, res);
} else {
res.status(400).json({ error: 'CAPTCHA failed' });
}
});
```
---
**Option C: Upgrade External API Plan** (if hitting external limit)
**Stripe**:
```
Current: 100 requests/second (free)
Upgrade: Contact Stripe for higher limit (paid)
```
**AWS API Gateway**:
```bash
# Increase throttle limit
aws apigateway update-usage-plan \
--usage-plan-id <ID> \
--patch-operations \
op=replace,path=/throttle/rateLimit,value=1000
# Impact: Higher rate limit
# Risk: None (may cost more)
```
---
### Long-term (1 hour+)
- [ ] **Implement tiered rate limits** (premium, authenticated, anonymous)
- [ ] **Add caching** (reduce backend load)
- [ ] **Use CDN** (cache static content, reduce origin requests)
- [ ] **Add CAPTCHA** (prevent bots on sensitive endpoints)
- [ ] **Monitor rate limit usage** (alert before hitting limit)
- [ ] **Batch requests** (reduce API calls to external services)
- [ ] **Implement retry with backoff** (external API rate limits)
- [ ] **Document rate limits** (API documentation for users)
- [ ] **Add rate limit headers** (tell users their remaining quota)
---
## Rate Limit Best Practices
### 1. Return Helpful Headers
**RFC 6585 standard**:
```http
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1698345600 # Unix timestamp
Retry-After: 60 # Seconds until reset
{
"error": "Rate limit exceeded",
"message": "You have exceeded the rate limit of 100 requests per 15 minutes. Try again in 60 seconds."
}
```
**Implementation**:
```javascript
const limiter = rateLimit({
windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000,
max: 100,
standardHeaders: true, // Return RateLimit-* headers
legacyHeaders: false,
handler: (req, res) => {
res.status(429).json({
error: 'Rate limit exceeded',
message: `You have exceeded the rate limit of ${req.rateLimit.limit} requests per 15 minutes. Try again in ${Math.ceil(req.rateLimit.resetTime - Date.now()) / 1000} seconds.`,
});
},
});
```
---
### 2. Use Sliding Window (not Fixed Window)
**Fixed window** (bad):
```
Window 1: 00:00-00:15 (100 requests)
Window 2: 00:15-00:30 (100 requests)
User makes 100 requests at 00:14:59
User makes 100 requests at 00:15:01
→ 200 requests in 2 seconds! (burst)
```
**Sliding window** (good):
```
Rate limit based on last 15 minutes from current time
→ Can't burst (limit enforced continuously)
```
---
### 3. Different Limits for Different Endpoints
```javascript
// Expensive endpoint (lower limit)
app.get('/api/analytics', rateLimit({ max: 10 }), handler);
// Cheap endpoint (higher limit)
app.get('/api/health', rateLimit({ max: 1000 }), handler);
```
---
## External API Rate Limit Handling
### Retry with Backoff
```javascript
async function callExternalAPI(url, retries = 3) {
for (let i = 0; i < retries; i++) {
try {
const response = await fetch(url);
// Check rate limit headers
const remaining = response.headers.get('X-RateLimit-Remaining');
if (remaining < 10) {
console.warn('Approaching rate limit:', remaining);
}
if (response.status === 429) {
// Rate limited
const retryAfter = response.headers.get('Retry-After') || 60;
console.log(`Rate limited, retrying after ${retryAfter}s`);
await sleep(retryAfter * 1000);
continue;
}
return response.json();
} catch (error) {
if (i === retries - 1) throw error;
await sleep(Math.pow(2, i) * 1000); // Exponential backoff
}
}
}
```
---
## Escalation
**Escalate to developer if**:
- Application rate limit logic needs changes
- Need to implement caching
**Escalate to infrastructure if**:
- nginx/API Gateway rate limit config
- Need to scale up capacity
**Escalate to external vendor if**:
- Hitting external API rate limit
- Need higher quota

# Incident Report: [Incident Title]
**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Time Started**: HH:MM UTC
**Time Resolved**: HH:MM UTC (or "Ongoing")
**Duration**: X hours Y minutes
**Severity**: SEV1 / SEV2 / SEV3
**Status**: Investigating / Mitigating / Resolved
---
## Summary
Brief one-paragraph description of what happened, impact, and current status.
**Example**:
```
On 2025-10-26 at 14:00 UTC, the API service became unavailable due to database connection pool exhaustion. All users were unable to access the application. The issue was resolved at 14:30 UTC by restarting the database and fixing a connection leak in the payment service. Total downtime: 30 minutes.
```
---
## Impact
### Users Affected
- **Scope**: All users / Partial / Specific region / Specific feature
- **Count**: X,XXX users (or percentage)
- **Duration**: HH:MM (how long were they affected)
### Services Affected
- [ ] Frontend/UI
- [ ] Backend API
- [ ] Database
- [ ] Payment processing
- [ ] Authentication
- [ ] [Other service]
### Business Impact
- **Revenue Lost**: $X,XXX (if calculable)
- **SLA Breach**: Yes / No (if applicable)
- **Customer Complaints**: X tickets/emails
- **Reputation**: Social media mentions, press coverage
---
## Timeline
Detailed chronological timeline of events with timestamps.
| Time (UTC) | Event | Action Taken | By Whom |
|------------|-------|--------------|---------|
| 14:00 | First alert: "Database connection pool exhausted" | Alert triggered | Monitoring |
| 14:02 | On-call engineer paged | Acknowledged alert | SRE (Jane) |
| 14:05 | Confirmed database connections at max (100/100) | Checked pg_stat_activity | SRE (Jane) |
| 14:10 | Identified connection leak in payment service | Reviewed application logs | SRE (Jane) |
| 14:15 | Restarted payment service | systemctl restart payment | SRE (Jane) |
| 14:20 | Database connections normalized (20/100) | Monitored connections | SRE (Jane) |
| 14:25 | Health checks passing | Verified /health endpoint | SRE (Jane) |
| 14:30 | Incident resolved | Declared incident resolved | SRE (Jane) |
---
## Root Cause
**What broke**: Payment service had connection leak (connections not released after query)
**Why it broke**: Missing `conn.close()` in error handling path
**What triggered it**: High payment volume (Black Friday sale)
**Contributing factors**:
- Database connection pool size too small (100 connections)
- No connection timeout configured
- No monitoring alert for connection pool usage
---
## Detection
### How We Detected
- [X] Automated monitoring alert
- [ ] User report
- [ ] Internal team noticed
- [ ] External vendor notification
**Alert Details**:
- Alert name: "Database Connection Pool Exhausted"
- Alert triggered at: 14:00 UTC
- Time to detection: <1 minute (automated)
- Time to acknowledgment: 2 minutes
### Detection Quality
- **Good**: Alert fired quickly (<1 min)
- **To Improve**: Need alert BEFORE pool exhausted (at 80% usage)
---
## Response
### Immediate Actions Taken
1. ✅ Acknowledged alert (14:02)
2. ✅ Checked database connection pool (14:05)
3. ✅ Identified connection leak (14:10)
4. ✅ Restarted payment service (14:15)
5. ✅ Verified resolution (14:30)
### What Worked Well

- **Customer Complaints**: 47 support tickets, 12 social media mentions
- **Reputation**: Minor (quickly resolved, transparent communication)
---
## Root Cause Analysis
### The Five Whys
**1. Why did the application become unavailable?**
→ Database connection pool was exhausted (100/100 connections in use)
**2. Why was the connection pool exhausted?**
→ Payment service had a connection leak (connections not being released)
**3. Why were connections not being released?**
→ Error handling path in payment service missing `conn.close()` in `finally` block
**4. Why was the error path missing `conn.close()`?**
→ Developer oversight during code review
**5. Why didn't code review catch this?**
→ No automated test or linter to check connection cleanup
**Root Cause**: Connection leak in payment service error handling path, compounded by lack of automated testing for connection cleanup.
---
### Contributing Factors
**Technical Factors**:
1. Connection pool size too small (100 connections) for Black Friday traffic
2. No connection timeout configured (connections held indefinitely)
3. No monitoring alert for connection pool usage (only alerted at 100%)
4. No circuit breaker to prevent cascade failures
**Process Factors**:
1. Code review missed connection leak
2. No automated test for connection cleanup
3. No load testing before high-traffic event (Black Friday)
4. No runbook for connection pool exhaustion
**Human Factors**:
1. Developer unfamiliar with connection pool best practices
2. Time pressure during feature development (rushed code review)
---
## Detection and Response
### Detection
**How Detected**: Automated monitoring alert
**Alert**: "Database Connection Pool Exhausted"
- **Trigger**: `SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity >= 100`
- **Alert latency**: <1 minute (excellent)
- **False positive rate**: 0% (first time this alert fired)
**Detection Quality**:
-**Good**: Alert fired quickly (<1 min after issue started)
-**To Improve**: No early warning (should alert at 80%, not 100%)
---
### Response
**Response Timeline**:
- **Time to acknowledge**: 2 minutes (target: <5 min) ✅
- **Time to triage**: 5 minutes (target: <10 min) ✅
- **Time to identify root cause**: 10 minutes (target: <30 min) ✅
- **Time to mitigate**: 15 minutes (target: <30 min) ✅
- **Time to resolve**: 30 minutes (target: <60 min) ✅
**What Worked Well**:
- ✅ Monitoring detected issue immediately
- ✅ Clear escalation path (on-call responded in 2 min)
- ✅ Good communication (updates every 10 min)
- ✅ Quick diagnosis (root cause found in 10 min)
**What Could Be Improved**:
- ❌ No runbook for this scenario (had to figure out on the spot)
- ❌ No early warning alert (only alerted when 100% full)
- ❌ Connection pool too small (should have been sized for traffic)
---
## Resolution
### Short-term Fix
**Immediate** (Restore service):
1. Restarted payment service to release connections
- `systemctl restart payment-service`
- Impact: Service restored in 2 minutes
2. Monitored connection pool for 30 minutes
- Verified connections stayed <50%

- Should alert at 80% for early action
3. **Capacity planning gap**
- Connection pool too small for Black Friday
- No load testing before high-traffic event
4. **No runbook**
- Had to figure out diagnosis on the fly
- Runbook would have saved 5-10 minutes
5. **No circuit breaker**
- Could have prevented full outage
- Should fail gracefully, not cascade
---
### Preventable?
**YES** - This incident was preventable.
**How it could have been prevented**:
1. ✅ Automated test for connection cleanup → Would have caught leak
2. ✅ Linter rule for connection cleanup → Would have caught in CI
3. ✅ Load testing before Black Friday → Would have found pool too small
4. ✅ Connection pool monitoring at 80% → Would have given early warning
5. ✅ Code review focus on error paths → Would have caught missing `finally`
---

## Quick Reference
**TL;DR** for experienced responders:
```bash
# 1. Check connection count
psql -c "SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity"
# 2. Identify connections
psql -c "SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state != 'idle'"
# 3. Kill idle connections
psql -c "SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid) FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state = 'idle in transaction'"
# 4. Restart application
systemctl restart application
# 5. Monitor
watch -n 5 'psql -c "SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity"'
```
---
## Detailed Diagnosis
Step-by-step diagnostic process.
### Step 1: [First Diagnostic Step]
**What to do**:
```bash
# Commands to run
<command>
```
**What to look for**:
- [ ] Expected output: `<expected>`
- [ ] Problem indicator: `<problem>`
**Example**:
```bash
# Check current connection count
psql -c "SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity"
```
**What to look for**:
- [ ] Normal: count < 80 (if max = 100)
- [ ] Warning: count 80-95
- [ ] Critical: count >= 100
---
### Step 2: [Second Diagnostic Step]
**What to do**:
```bash
# Commands to run
<command>
```
**What to look for**:
- [ ] Expected output: `<expected>`
- [ ] Problem indicator: `<problem>`
**Example**:
```bash
# Identify idle connections
psql -c "SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state = 'idle in transaction'"
```
**What to look for**:
- [ ] No results: No idle transactions (good)
- [ ] Many results: Connection leak (problem)
---
### Step 3: [Identify Root Cause]
Based on symptoms, identify likely root cause:
| Symptom | Root Cause |
|---------|------------|
| [Symptom 1] | [Likely cause 1] |
| [Symptom 2] | [Likely cause 2] |
| [Symptom 3] | [Likely cause 3] |
**Example**:
```
| Many idle transactions | Connection leak (connections not closed) |
| All connections active | High load (scale up) |
| Specific app connections | Application issue |
```

}
private initializeMetrics() {
this.httpRequestDuration = new Histogram({
name: 'http_request_duration_seconds',
help: 'Duration of HTTP requests in seconds',
labelNames: ['method', 'route', 'status_code'],
buckets: [0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 5]
});
this.httpRequestTotal = new Counter({
name: 'http_requests_total',
help: 'Total number of HTTP requests',
labelNames: ['method', 'route', 'status_code']
});
this.registry.registerMetric(this.httpRequestDuration);
this.registry.registerMetric(this.httpRequestTotal);
}
httpMetricsMiddleware() {
return (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
const start = Date.now();
const route = req.route?.path || req.path;
res.on('finish', () => {
const duration = (Date.now() - start) / 1000;
const labels = {
method: req.method,
route,
status_code: res.statusCode.toString()
};
this.httpRequestDuration.observe(labels, duration);

description: Implement distributed tracing with Jaeger and Tempo to track requests across microservices and identify performance bottlenecks. Use when debugging microservices, analyzing request flows, or implementing observability for distributed systems.
---
# Distributed Tracing
Implement distributed tracing with Jaeger and Tempo for request flow visibility across microservices.
## Purpose
Track requests across distributed systems to understand latency, dependencies, and failure points.
## When to Use
- Debug latency issues
- Understand service dependencies
- Identify bottlenecks
- Trace error propagation
- Analyze request paths
## Distributed Tracing Concepts
### Trace Structure
```
Trace (Request ID: abc123)
Span (frontend) [100ms]
Span (api-gateway) [80ms]
├→ Span (auth-service) [10ms]
└→ Span (user-service) [60ms]
└→ Span (database) [40ms]
```
### Key Components
- **Trace** - End-to-end request journey
- **Span** - Single operation within a trace
- **Context** - Metadata propagated between services
- **Tags** - Key-value pairs for filtering
- **Logs** - Timestamped events within a span
## Jaeger Setup
### Kubernetes Deployment
```bash
# Deploy Jaeger Operator
kubectl create namespace observability
kubectl create -f https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger-operator/releases/download/v1.51.0/jaeger-operator.yaml -n observability
# Deploy Jaeger instance
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: jaegertracing.io/v1
kind: Jaeger
metadata:
name: jaeger
namespace: observability
spec:
strategy: production
storage:
type: elasticsearch
options:
es:
server-urls: http://elasticsearch:9200
ingress:
enabled: true
EOF
```
### Docker Compose
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
jaeger:
image: jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest
ports:
- "5775:5775/udp"
- "6831:6831/udp"
- "6832:6832/udp"
- "5778:5778"
- "16686:16686" # UI
- "14268:14268" # Collector
- "14250:14250" # gRPC
- "9411:9411" # Zipkin
environment:
- COLLECTOR_ZIPKIN_HOST_PORT=:9411
```
**Reference:** See `references/jaeger-setup.md`
## Application Instrumentation
### OpenTelemetry (Recommended)
#### Python (Flask)
```python
from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.exporter.jaeger.thrift import JaegerExporter
from opentelemetry.sdk.resources import SERVICE_NAME, Resource
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.flask import FlaskInstrumentor
from flask import Flask
# Initialize tracer
resource = Resource(attributes={SERVICE_NAME: "my-service"})
provider = TracerProvider(resource=resource)
processor = BatchSpanProcessor(JaegerExporter(
agent_host_name="jaeger",
agent_port=6831,
))
provider.add_span_processor(processor)
trace.set_tracer_provider(provider)
# Instrument Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
FlaskInstrumentor().instrument_app(app)
@app.route('/api/users')
def get_users():
tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)
with tracer.start_as_current_span("get_users") as span:
span.set_attribute("user.count", 100)
# Business logic
users = fetch_users_from_db()
return {"users": users}
def fetch_users_from_db():
tracer = trace.get_tracer(__name__)
with tracer.start_as_current_span("database_query") as span:
span.set_attribute("db.system", "postgresql")
span.set_attribute("db.statement", "SELECT * FROM users")
# Database query
return query_database()
```
#### Node.js (Express)
```javascript
const { NodeTracerProvider } = require('@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node');
const { JaegerExporter } = require('@opentelemetry/exporter-jaeger');
const { BatchSpanProcessor } = require('@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base');
const { registerInstrumentations } = require('@opentelemetry/instrumentation');
const { HttpInstrumentation } = require('@opentelemetry/instrumentation-http');
const { ExpressInstrumentation } = require('@opentelemetry/instrumentation-express');
// Initialize tracer
const provider = new NodeTracerProvider({
resource: { attributes: { 'service.name': 'my-service' } }
});
const exporter = new JaegerExporter({
endpoint: 'http://jaeger:14268/api/traces'
});
provider.addSpanProcessor(new BatchSpanProcessor(exporter));
provider.register();
// Instrument libraries
registerInstrumentations({
instrumentations: [
new HttpInstrumentation(),
new ExpressInstrumentation(),
],
});
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/api/users', async (req, res) => {
const tracer = trace.getTracer('my-service');
const span = tracer.startSpan('get_users');
try {
const users = await fetchUsers();
span.setAttributes({ 'user.count': users.length });
res.json({ users });
} finally {
span.end();
}
});
```
#### Go
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/jaeger"
"go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/resource"
sdktrace "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/trace"
semconv "go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv/v1.4.0"
)
func initTracer() (*sdktrace.TracerProvider, error) {
exporter, err := jaeger.New(jaeger.WithCollectorEndpoint(
jaeger.WithEndpoint("http://jaeger:14268/api/traces"),
))
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
tp := sdktrace.NewTracerProvider(
sdktrace.WithBatcher(exporter),
sdktrace.WithResource(resource.NewWithAttributes(
semconv.SchemaURL,
semconv.ServiceNameKey.String("my-service"),
)),
)
otel.SetTracerProvider(tp)
return tp, nil
}
func getUsers(ctx context.Context) ([]User, error) {
tracer := otel.Tracer("my-service")
ctx, span := tracer.Start(ctx, "get_users")
defer span.End()
span.SetAttributes(attribute.String("user.filter", "active"))
users, err := fetchUsersFromDB(ctx)
if err != nil {
span.RecordError(err)
return nil, err
}
span.SetAttributes(attribute.Int("user.count", len(users)))
return users, nil
}
```

## Context Propagation
### HTTP Headers
```
traceparent: 00-0af7651916cd43dd8448eb211c80319c-b7ad6b7169203331-01
tracestate: congo=t61rcWkgMzE
```
### Propagation in HTTP Requests
#### Python
```python
from opentelemetry.propagate import inject
headers = {}
inject(headers) # Injects trace context
response = requests.get('http://downstream-service/api', headers=headers)
```
#### Node.js
```javascript
const { propagation } = require('@opentelemetry/api');
const headers = {};
propagation.inject(context.active(), headers);
axios.get('http://downstream-service/api', { headers });
```
## Tempo Setup (Grafana)
### Kubernetes Deployment
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: tempo-config

```
**Reference:** See `assets/jaeger-config.yaml.template`
## Sampling Strategies
### Probabilistic Sampling
```yaml
# Sample 1% of traces
sampler:
type: probabilistic
param: 0.01
```
### Rate Limiting Sampling
```yaml
# Sample max 100 traces per second
sampler:
type: ratelimiting
param: 100
```
### Adaptive Sampling
```python
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.sampling import ParentBased, TraceIdRatioBased
# Sample based on trace ID (deterministic)
sampler = ParentBased(root=TraceIdRatioBased(0.01))
```
## Trace Analysis
### Finding Slow Requests
**Jaeger Query:**
```
service=my-service
duration > 1s
```
### Finding Errors
**Jaeger Query:**
```
service=my-service
error=true
tags.http.status_code >= 500
```
### Service Dependency Graph
Jaeger automatically generates service dependency graphs showing:
- Service relationships
- Request rates
- Error rates
- Average latencies
## Best Practices
1. **Sample appropriately** (1-10% in production)
2. **Add meaningful tags** (user_id, request_id)
3. **Propagate context** across all service boundaries
4. **Log exceptions** in spans
5. **Use consistent naming** for operations
6. **Monitor tracing overhead** (<1% CPU impact)
7. **Set up alerts** for trace errors
8. **Implement distributed context** (baggage)
9. **Use span events** for important milestones
10. **Document instrumentation** standards
## Integration with Logging
### Correlated Logs
```python
import logging
from opentelemetry import trace
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def process_request():
span = trace.get_current_span()
trace_id = span.get_span_context().trace_id
logger.info(
"Processing request",
extra={"trace_id": format(trace_id, '032x')}
)
```
## Troubleshooting
**No traces appearing:**
- Check collector endpoint
- Verify network connectivity
- Check sampling configuration
- Review application logs
**High latency overhead:**
- Reduce sampling rate
- Use batch span processor
- Check exporter configuration

# Grafana Dashboards
Create and manage production-ready Grafana dashboards for comprehensive system observability.
## Purpose
Design effective Grafana dashboards for monitoring applications, infrastructure, and business metrics.
## When to Use
- Visualize Prometheus metrics
- Create custom dashboards
- Implement SLO dashboards
- Monitor infrastructure
- Track business KPIs
## Dashboard Design Principles
### 1. Hierarchy of Information
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Critical Metrics (Big Numbers) │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Key Trends (Time Series) │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Detailed Metrics (Tables/Heatmaps) │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### 2. RED Method (Services)
- **Rate** - Requests per second
- **Errors** - Error rate
- **Duration** - Latency/response time
### 3. USE Method (Resources)
- **Utilization** - % time resource is busy
- **Saturation** - Queue length/wait time
- **Errors** - Error count

options:
path: /etc/grafana/dashboards
```
## Common Dashboard Patterns
### Infrastructure Dashboard
**Key Panels:**
- CPU utilization per node
- Memory usage per node
- Disk I/O
- Network traffic
- Pod count by namespace
- Node status
**Reference:** See `assets/infrastructure-dashboard.json`
### Database Dashboard
**Key Panels:**
- Queries per second
- Connection pool usage
- Query latency (P50, P95, P99)
- Active connections
- Database size
- Replication lag
- Slow queries
**Reference:** See `assets/database-dashboard.json`
### Application Dashboard
**Key Panels:**
- Request rate
- Error rate
- Response time (percentiles)
- Active users/sessions
- Cache hit rate
- Queue length
## Best Practices
1. **Start with templates** (Grafana community dashboards)
2. **Use consistent naming** for panels and variables
3. **Group related metrics** in rows
4. **Set appropriate time ranges** (default: Last 6 hours)
5. **Use variables** for flexibility
6. **Add panel descriptions** for context
7. **Configure units** correctly
8. **Set meaningful thresholds** for colors
9. **Use consistent colors** across dashboards
10. **Test with different time ranges**
## Dashboard as Code
### Terraform Provisioning
```hcl
resource "grafana_dashboard" "api_monitoring" {
config_json = file("${path.module}/dashboards/api-monitoring.json")
folder = grafana_folder.monitoring.id
}
resource "grafana_folder" "monitoring" {
title = "Production Monitoring"
}
```
### Ansible Provisioning
```yaml
- name: Deploy Grafana dashboards
copy:
src: "{{ item }}"
dest: /etc/grafana/dashboards/
with_fileglob:
- "dashboards/*.json"
notify: restart grafana
```

**Name:** hetzner-provisioner
**Type:** Infrastructure / DevOps
**Model:** Claude Sonnet 4.5 (balanced for IaC generation)
**Status:** Planned
---
## Overview
Automated Hetzner Cloud infrastructure provisioning using Terraform or Pulumi. Generates production-ready IaC code for deploying SaaS applications at $10-15/month instead of $50-100/month on Vercel/AWS.
## When This Skill Activates
**Keywords**: deploy on Hetzner, Hetzner Cloud, budget deployment, cheap hosting, $10/month, cost-effective infrastructure
**Example prompts**:
- "Deploy my NextJS app on Hetzner"
- "I want the cheapest possible hosting for my SaaS"
- "Set up infrastructure on Hetzner Cloud with Postgres"
- "Deploy for under $15/month"
## What It Generates
### 1. Terraform Configuration
**main.tf**:
```hcl
terraform {
required_providers {
hcloud = {
source = "hetznercloud/hcloud"
version = "~> 1.45"
}
}
}
provider "hcloud" {
token = var.hcloud_token
}
# Server instance
resource "hcloud_server" "app" {
name = "my-saas-app"
server_type = "cx11"
image = "ubuntu-22.04"
location = "nbg1" # Nuremberg, Germany
user_data = file("${path.module}/cloud-init.yaml")
public_net {
ipv4_enabled = true
ipv6_enabled = true
}
}
# Managed Postgres database
resource "hcloud_database" "postgres" {
name = "my-saas-db"
engine = "postgresql"
version = "15"
size = "db-1x-small"
location = "nbg1"
}
# Firewall
resource "hcloud_firewall" "app" {
name = "my-saas-firewall"
rule {
direction = "in"
protocol = "tcp"
port = "80"
source_ips = ["0.0.0.0/0", "::/0"]
}
rule {
direction = "in"
protocol = "tcp"
port = "443"
source_ips = ["0.0.0.0/0", "::/0"]
}
rule {
direction = "in"
protocol = "tcp"
port = "22"
source_ips = ["0.0.0.0/0", "::/0"] # Restrict to your IP in production
}
}
# Apply firewall to server
resource "hcloud_firewall_attachment" "app" {
firewall_id = hcloud_firewall.app.id
server_ids = [hcloud_server.app.id]
}
# Output deployment info
output "server_ip" {
value = hcloud_server.app.ipv4_address
}
output "database_host" {
value = hcloud_database.postgres.host
}
output "database_port" {
value = hcloud_database.postgres.port
}
```
### 2. Docker Configuration
**Dockerfile**:
```dockerfile
FROM node:20-alpine AS base
# Dependencies
FROM base AS deps
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
# Builder
FROM base AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=deps /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
# Runner
FROM base AS runner
WORKDIR /app
ENV NODE_ENV production
RUN addgroup --system --gid 1001 nodejs
RUN adduser --system --uid 1001 nextjs
COPY --from=builder /app/public ./public
COPY --from=builder --chown=nextjs:nodejs /app/.next/standalone ./
COPY --from=builder --chown=nextjs:nodejs /app/.next/static ./.next/static
USER nextjs
EXPOSE 3000
ENV PORT 3000
CMD ["node", "server.js"]
```
### 3. GitHub Actions CI/CD
**.github/workflows/deploy.yml**:
```yaml
name: Deploy to Hetzner

run: |
ssh ${{ secrets.SERVER_USER }}@${{ secrets.SERVER_IP }} << 'EOF'
cd /app
git pull
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
EOF
```
### 4. SSL Configuration (Let's Encrypt)
**nginx.conf** (auto-generated):
```nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name your-domain.com;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name your-domain.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your-domain.com/privkey.pem;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
```
## Cost Breakdown
### Small SaaS (100-1000 users)
- **CX11** (1 vCPU, 2GB RAM): $5.83/month
- **Managed Postgres** (2GB): $5.00/month
- **Storage** (20GB): $0.50/month
- **SSL** (Let's Encrypt): Free
- **Total**: ~$11.33/month
### Medium SaaS (1000-10000 users)
- **CX21** (2 vCPU, 4GB RAM): $6.90/month
- **Managed Postgres** (4GB): $10.00/month
- **Storage** (40GB): $1.00/month
- **Total**: ~$18/month
### Large SaaS (10000+ users)
- **CX31** (2 vCPU, 8GB RAM): $14.28/month
- **Managed Postgres** (8GB): $20.00/month
- **Storage** (80GB): $2.00/month
- **Total**: ~$36/month
## Test Cases
### Test 1: Basic Provision
**File**: `test-cases/test-1-basic-provision.yaml`
**Scenario**: Provision CX11 instance with Docker
**Expected**: Terraform code generated, cost ~$6/month
### Test 2: Postgres Provision
**File**: `test-cases/test-2-postgres-provision.yaml`
**Scenario**: Add managed Postgres database
**Expected**: Database resource added, cost ~$11/month
### Test 3: SSL Configuration
**File**: `test-cases/test-3-ssl-config.yaml`
**Scenario**: Configure SSL with Let's Encrypt
**Expected**: Nginx + Certbot configuration, HTTPS working
## Verification Steps
See `test-results/README.md` for:
1. How to run each test case
2. Expected vs actual output
3. Manual verification steps
4. Screenshots of successful deployment
## Integration with Other Skills
- **cost-optimizer**: Recommends Hetzner when budget <$20/month
- **devops-agent**: Provides strategic infrastructure planning
- **nextjs-agent**: NextJS-specific deployment configuration
- **nodejs-backend**: Node.js app deployment
- **monitoring-setup**: Adds Uptime Kuma monitoring
## Limitations
- **EU-only**: Data centers in Germany/Finland (GDPR-friendly but not global)
- **No auto-scaling**: Manual scaling only (upgrade instance type)
- **Single-region**: Multi-region requires manual setup
- **No serverless**: Traditional VM-based hosting
## Alternatives
When NOT to use Hetzner:
- **Global audience**: Use Vercel (global edge network)
- **Auto-scaling needed**: Use AWS/GCP
- **Serverless preferred**: Use Vercel/Netlify
- **Enterprise SLA required**: Use AWS/Azure with support plans
## Future Enhancements
- [ ] Kubernetes (k3s) cluster setup
- [ ] Load balancer configuration
- [ ] Multi-region deployment
- [ ] Auto-scaling with Hetzner Cloud API
- [ ] Monitoring integration (Grafana + Prometheus)
- [ ] Disaster recovery automation

# Hetzner Cloud Provisioner
Automated infrastructure provisioning for Hetzner Cloud - the budget-friendly alternative to Vercel and AWS.
## Purpose
Generate and deploy infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Pulumi) for Hetzner Cloud, enabling $10-15/month SaaS deployments instead of $50-100/month on other platforms.
## When to Use
Activates when user mentions:
- "deploy on Hetzner"
- "Hetzner Cloud"
- "budget deployment"
- "cheap hosting"
- "deploy for $10/month"
- "cost-effective infrastructure"
## What It Does
1. **Analyzes requirements**:
- Application type (NextJS, Node.js, Python, etc.)
- Database needs (Postgres, MySQL, Redis)
- Expected traffic/users
- Budget constraints
2. **Generates Infrastructure-as-Code**:
- Terraform configuration for Hetzner Cloud
- Alternative: Pulumi for TypeScript-native IaC
- Server instances (CX11, CX21, CX31)
- Managed databases (Postgres, MySQL)
- Object storage (if needed)
- Networking (firewall rules, floating IPs)
3. **Configures Production Setup**:
- Docker containerization
- SSL certificates (Let's Encrypt)
- DNS configuration (Cloudflare or Hetzner DNS)
- GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline
- Monitoring (Uptime Kuma, self-hosted)
- Automated backups
4. **Outputs Deployment Guide**:
- Step-by-step deployment instructions
- Cost breakdown
- Monitoring URLs
- Troubleshooting guide
---
## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Secrets Required (MANDATORY CHECK)
**BEFORE generating Terraform/Pulumi code, CHECK for Hetzner API token.**
### Step 1: Check If Token Exists
```bash
# Check .env file
if [ -f .env ] && grep -q "HETZNER_API_TOKEN" .env; then
echo "✅ Hetzner API token found"
else
# Token NOT found - STOP and prompt user
fi
```
### Step 2: If Token Missing, STOP and Show This Message
```
🔐 **Hetzner API Token Required**
I need your Hetzner API token to provision infrastructure.
**How to get it**:
1. Go to: https://console.hetzner.cloud/
2. Click on your project (or create one)
3. Navigate to: Security → API Tokens
4. Click "Generate API Token"
5. Give it a name (e.g., "specweave-deployment")
6. Permissions: **Read & Write**
7. Click "Generate"
8. **Copy the token immediately** (you can't see it again!)
**Where I'll save it**:
- File: `.env` (gitignored, secure)
- Format: `HETZNER_API_TOKEN=your-token-here`
**Security**:
✅ .env is in .gitignore (never committed to git)
✅ Token is 64 characters, alphanumeric
✅ Stored locally only (not in source code)
Please paste your Hetzner API token:
```
### Step 3: Validate Token Format
```bash
# Hetzner tokens are 64 alphanumeric characters
if [[ ! "$HETZNER_API_TOKEN" =~ ^[a-zA-Z0-9]{64}$ ]]; then
echo "⚠️ Warning: Token format unexpected"
echo "Expected: 64 alphanumeric characters"
echo "Got: ${#HETZNER_API_TOKEN} characters"
echo ""
echo "This might not be a valid Hetzner API token."
echo "Continue anyway? (yes/no)"
fi
```
### Step 4: Save Token Securely
```bash
# Save to .env
echo "HETZNER_API_TOKEN=$HETZNER_API_TOKEN" >> .env
# Ensure .env is gitignored
if ! grep -q "^\.env$" .gitignore; then
echo ".env" >> .gitignore
fi
# Create .env.example for team
cat > .env.example << 'EOF'
# Hetzner Cloud API Token
# Get from: https://console.hetzner.cloud/ → Security → API Tokens
HETZNER_API_TOKEN=your-hetzner-token-here
EOF
echo "✅ Token saved to .env (gitignored)"
echo "✅ Created .env.example for team (commit this)"
```
### Step 5: Use Token in Terraform
```hcl
# terraform/variables.tf
variable "hetzner_token" {
description = "Hetzner Cloud API Token"
type = string
sensitive = true
}
# terraform/provider.tf
provider "hcloud" {
token = var.hetzner_token
}
# Run Terraform
# export TF_VAR_hetzner_token=$HETZNER_API_TOKEN
# terraform apply
```
---
## Example Usage
**User**: "Deploy my NextJS app on Hetzner with Postgres, as cheaply as possible"
**hetzner-provisioner**:
```markdown
I'll provision your NextJS app on Hetzner Cloud for ~$12/month.
Infrastructure:
- CX11 instance (2 vCPU, 2GB RAM): $5.83/month
- Managed Postgres (2GB): $5.00/month
- 20GB storage: $0.50/month
- SSL (Let's Encrypt): Free
- Total: ~$11.33/month
Creating Terraform configuration...
✅ Generated files:
- terraform/main.tf
- terraform/variables.tf
- terraform/outputs.tf
- .github/workflows/deploy.yml
Next steps:
1. Set HETZNER_API_TOKEN in GitHub secrets
2. Push to GitHub
3. GitHub Actions will deploy automatically
Deployment URL: https://your-app.yourdomain.com (after DNS configured)
```
## Configuration
Supports multiple instance types:
- **CX11** (1 vCPU, 2GB RAM): $5.83/month - Small apps, 100-1000 users
- **CX21** (2 vCPU, 4GB RAM): $6.90/month - Medium apps, 1000-10000 users
- **CX31** (2 vCPU, 8GB RAM): $14.28/month - Larger apps, 10000+ users
Database options:
- Managed Postgres (2GB): $5/month
- Managed MySQL (2GB): $5/month
- Self-hosted (included in instance cost)
## Test Cases
See `test-cases/` for validation scenarios:
1. **test-1-basic-provision.yaml** - Basic CX11 instance
2. **test-2-postgres-provision.yaml** - Add managed Postgres
3. **test-3-ssl-config.yaml** - SSL and DNS configuration
## Cost Comparison
| Platform | Small App | Medium App | Large App |
|----------|-----------|------------|-----------|
| **Hetzner** | $12/mo | $15/mo | $25/mo |
| Vercel | $60/mo | $120/mo | $240/mo |
| AWS | $25/mo | $80/mo | $200/mo |
| Railway | $20/mo | $50/mo | $100/mo |
**Savings**: 50-80% vs alternatives
## Technical Details
**Terraform Provider**: `hetznercloud/hcloud`
**API**: Hetzner Cloud API v1
**Regions**: Nuremberg, Falkenstein, Helsinki (Germany/Finland)
**Deployment**: Docker + GitHub Actions
**Monitoring**: Uptime Kuma (self-hosted, free)
## Integration
Works with:
- `cost-optimizer` - Recommends Hetzner when budget-conscious
- `devops-agent` - Strategic infrastructure planning
- `nextjs-agent` - NextJS-specific deployment
- Any backend framework (Node.js, Python, Go, etc.)
## Limitations
- EU-only data centers (GDPR-friendly)
- Requires Hetzner Cloud account
- Manual DNS configuration needed
- Not suitable for multi-region deployments (use AWS/GCP for that)
## Future Enhancements
- Kubernetes support (k3s on Hetzner)
- Load balancer configuration
- Multi-region deployment
- Disaster recovery setup

## Recording Rules
Create pre-computed metrics for frequently queried expressions:
```yaml
# /etc/prometheus/rules/recording_rules.yml
groups:
- name: api_metrics
interval: 15s
rules:
# HTTP request rate per service
- record: job:http_requests:rate5m
expr: sum by (job) (rate(http_requests_total[5m]))
# Error rate percentage
- record: job:http_requests_errors:rate5m
expr: sum by (job) (rate(http_requests_total{status=~"5.."}[5m]))
- record: job:http_requests_error_rate:percentage
expr: |
(job:http_requests_errors:rate5m / job:http_requests:rate5m) * 100
# P95 latency
- record: job:http_request_duration:p95
expr: |
histogram_quantile(0.95,
sum by (job, le) (rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))
)
- name: resource_metrics
interval: 30s
rules:
# CPU utilization percentage
- record: instance:node_cpu:utilization
expr: |
100 - (avg by (instance) (rate(node_cpu_seconds_total{mode="idle"}[5m])) * 100)
# Memory utilization percentage
- record: instance:node_memory:utilization
expr: |
100 - ((node_memory_MemAvailable_bytes / node_memory_MemTotal_bytes) * 100)
# Disk usage percentage
- record: instance:node_disk:utilization
expr: |
100 - ((node_filesystem_avail_bytes / node_filesystem_size_bytes) * 100)
```
**Reference:** See `references/recording-rules.md`
## Alert Rules
```yaml
# /etc/prometheus/rules/alert_rules.yml
groups:
- name: availability
interval: 30s
rules:
- alert: ServiceDown
expr: up{job="my-app"} == 0
for: 1m
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: "Service {{ $labels.instance }} is down"
description: "{{ $labels.job }} has been down for more than 1 minute"
- alert: HighErrorRate
expr: job:http_requests_error_rate:percentage > 5
for: 5m
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "High error rate for {{ $labels.job }}"
description: "Error rate is {{ $value }}% (threshold: 5%)"
- alert: HighLatency
expr: job:http_request_duration:p95 > 1
for: 5m
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:

description: "Memory usage is {{ $value }}%"
- alert: DiskSpaceLow
expr: instance:node_disk:utilization > 90
for: 5m
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: "Low disk space on {{ $labels.instance }}"
description: "Disk usage is {{ $value }}%"
```
## Validation
```bash
# Validate configuration
promtool check config prometheus.yml
# Validate rules
promtool check rules /etc/prometheus/rules/*.yml
# Test query
promtool query instant http://localhost:9090 'up'
```
**Reference:** See `scripts/validate-prometheus.sh`
## Best Practices
1. **Use consistent naming** for metrics (prefix_name_unit)
2. **Set appropriate scrape intervals** (15-60s typical)
3. **Use recording rules** for expensive queries
4. **Implement high availability** (multiple Prometheus instances)
5. **Configure retention** based on storage capacity
6. **Use relabeling** for metric cleanup
7. **Monitor Prometheus itself**
8. **Implement federation** for large deployments
9. **Use Thanos/Cortex** for long-term storage
10. **Document custom metrics**
## Troubleshooting
**Check scrape targets:**
```bash
curl http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets
```
**Check configuration:**
```bash
curl http://localhost:9090/api/v1/status/config
```
**Test query:**
```bash
curl 'http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=up'
```

# SLO Implementation
Framework for defining and implementing Service Level Indicators (SLIs), Service Level Objectives (SLOs), and error budgets.
## Purpose
Implement measurable reliability targets using SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets to balance reliability with innovation velocity.
## When to Use
- Define service reliability targets
- Measure user-perceived reliability
- Implement error budgets
- Create SLO-based alerts
- Track reliability goals
## SLI/SLO/SLA Hierarchy
```
SLA (Service Level Agreement)
↓ Contract with customers
SLO (Service Level Objective)
↓ Internal reliability target
SLI (Service Level Indicator)
↓ Actual measurement
```
## Defining SLIs
### Common SLI Types
#### 1. Availability SLI
```promql
# Successful requests / Total requests
sum(rate(http_requests_total{status!~"5.."}[28d]))
/
sum(rate(http_requests_total[28d]))
```
#### 2. Latency SLI
```promql
# Requests below latency threshold / Total requests
sum(rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.5"}[28d]))
/
sum(rate(http_request_duration_seconds_count[28d]))
```
#### 3. Durability SLI
```
# Successful writes / Total writes
sum(storage_writes_successful_total)
/
sum(storage_writes_total)
```
**Reference:** See `references/slo-definitions.md`
## Setting SLO Targets
### Availability SLO Examples
| SLO % | Downtime/Month | Downtime/Year |
|-------|----------------|---------------|
| 99% | 7.2 hours | 3.65 days |
| 99.9% | 43.2 minutes | 8.76 hours |
| 99.95%| 21.6 minutes | 4.38 hours |
| 99.99%| 4.32 minutes | 52.56 minutes |
### Choose Appropriate SLOs
**Consider:**
- User expectations
- Business requirements
- Current performance
- Cost of reliability
- Competitor benchmarks
**Example SLOs:**
```yaml
slos:
- name: api_availability
target: 99.9
window: 28d
sli: |
sum(rate(http_requests_total{status!~"5.."}[28d]))
/
sum(rate(http_requests_total[28d]))
- name: api_latency_p95
target: 99
window: 28d
sli: |
sum(rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.5"}[28d]))
/
sum(rate(http_request_duration_seconds_count[28d]))
```
## Error Budget Calculation
### Error Budget Formula
```
Error Budget = 1 - SLO Target
```
**Example:**
- SLO: 99.9% availability
- Error Budget: 0.1% = 43.2 minutes/month
- Current Error: 0.05% = 21.6 minutes/month
- Remaining Budget: 50%
### Error Budget Policy
```yaml
error_budget_policy:
- remaining_budget: 100%
action: Normal development velocity
- remaining_budget: 50%
action: Consider postponing risky changes
- remaining_budget: 10%
action: Freeze non-critical changes
- remaining_budget: 0%
action: Feature freeze, focus on reliability
```
**Reference:** See `references/error-budget.md`
## SLO Implementation
### Prometheus Recording Rules
```yaml
# SLI Recording Rules
groups:
- name: sli_rules
interval: 30s
rules:
# Availability SLI
- record: sli:http_availability:ratio
expr: |
sum(rate(http_requests_total{status!~"5.."}[28d]))
/
sum(rate(http_requests_total[28d]))
# Latency SLI (requests < 500ms)
- record: sli:http_latency:ratio
expr: |
sum(rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{le="0.5"}[28d]))
/
sum(rate(http_request_duration_seconds_count[28d]))
- name: slo_rules
interval: 5m
rules:
# SLO compliance (1 = meeting SLO, 0 = violating)
- record: slo:http_availability:compliance
expr: sli:http_availability:ratio >= bool 0.999
- record: slo:http_latency:compliance
expr: sli:http_latency:ratio >= bool 0.99
# Error budget remaining (percentage)
- record: slo:http_availability:error_budget_remaining
expr: |
(sli:http_availability:ratio - 0.999) / (1 - 0.999) * 100
# Error budget burn rate
- record: slo:http_availability:burn_rate_5m
expr: |
(1 - (
sum(rate(http_requests_total{status!~"5.."}[5m]))
/
sum(rate(http_requests_total[5m]))
)) / (1 - 0.999)
```
### SLO Alerting Rules
```yaml
groups:
- name: slo_alerts
interval: 1m
rules:
# Fast burn: 14.4x rate, 1 hour window
# Consumes 2% error budget in 1 hour
- alert: SLOErrorBudgetBurnFast
expr: |
slo:http_availability:burn_rate_1h > 14.4
and
slo:http_availability:burn_rate_5m > 14.4
for: 2m
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: "Fast error budget burn detected"
description: "Error budget burning at {{ $value }}x rate"
# Slow burn: 6x rate, 6 hour window
# Consumes 5% error budget in 6 hours
- alert: SLOErrorBudgetBurnSlow
expr: |
slo:http_availability:burn_rate_6h > 6
and
slo:http_availability:burn_rate_30m > 6
for: 15m
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "Slow error budget burn detected"
description: "Error budget burning at {{ $value }}x rate"
# Error budget exhausted
- alert: SLOErrorBudgetExhausted
expr: slo:http_availability:error_budget_remaining < 0
for: 5m
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: "SLO error budget exhausted"
description: "Error budget remaining: {{ $value }}%"
```
## SLO Dashboard
**Grafana Dashboard Structure:**
```
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ SLO Compliance (Current) │
│ ✓ 99.95% (Target: 99.9%) │
├────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Error Budget Remaining: 65% │
│ ████████░░ 65% │
├────────────────────────────────────┤
│ SLI Trend (28 days) │
│ [Time series graph] │
├────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Burn Rate Analysis │
│ [Burn rate by time window] │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Example Queries:**
```promql
# Current SLO compliance
sli:http_availability:ratio * 100
# Error budget remaining
slo:http_availability:error_budget_remaining
# Days until error budget exhausted (at current burn rate)
(slo:http_availability:error_budget_remaining / 100)
*
28
/
(1 - sli:http_availability:ratio) * (1 - 0.999)
```
## Multi-Window Burn Rate Alerts
```yaml
# Combination of short and long windows reduces false positives
rules:
- alert: SLOBurnRateHigh
expr: |
(
slo:http_availability:burn_rate_1h > 14.4
and
slo:http_availability:burn_rate_5m > 14.4
)
or
(
slo:http_availability:burn_rate_6h > 6
and
slo:http_availability:burn_rate_30m > 6
)
labels:
severity: critical
```
## SLO Review Process
### Weekly Review
- Current SLO compliance
- Error budget status
- Trend analysis
- Incident impact
### Monthly Review
- SLO achievement
- Error budget usage
- Incident postmortems
- SLO adjustments
### Quarterly Review
- SLO relevance
- Target adjustments
- Process improvements
- Tooling enhancements
## Best Practices
1. **Start with user-facing services**
2. **Use multiple SLIs** (availability, latency, etc.)
3. **Set achievable SLOs** (don't aim for 100%)
4. **Implement multi-window alerts** to reduce noise
5. **Track error budget** consistently
6. **Review SLOs regularly**
7. **Document SLO decisions**
8. **Align with business goals**
9. **Automate SLO reporting**
10. **Use SLOs for prioritization**
