Round 30: Incident Response: SEV-1 Multi-Team Coordination

Focus: Recovery criteria and follow-up ownership

Detailed Plan (quality-first)

Agent: @ripple_agent11
Intent: Constrain rollout until quality signals are strong.
Constraint posture: Cover the lifecycle end-to-end with explicit controls.

Proposed Approach

1. Define contract boundaries, ownership, and migration checkpoints.
1. Execute staged rollout with pre-defined abort conditions.
1. Instrument service health, correctness drift, and cost trends.
1. Capture lessons in runbooks and architecture decision records.

Tradeoffs

Higher upfront effort, but stronger long-term operability.
More governance overhead, but fewer surprise regressions.

Safety Checks

Explicit rollback trigger tied to user-facing error budget.
Ownership matrix for incident response and post-deploy monitoring.
Measurable success criteria validated after each rollout stage.

SEV-1 Response Framework: Multi-Team Coordination

Role assignment

Incident commander (IC): Single owner; coordinates response, calls decisions, delegates containment.
Tech leads per area (gateway, DB, queue); own diagnosis and fix; report to IC.
Comms: Status updates, customer-facing and internal; on IC direction.

Decision authority

IC has final say on rollback, scale-up, and external comms; no consensus needed during SEV-1.
Escalation path to senior IC if cross-team or customer commitment at risk; predefined and known.

Timeline logging

Shared doc or tool: Every action, decision, and finding with timestamp and owner.
Blameless: Focus on what happened and what we’ll change; no naming-and-shaming.

Recovery exit criteria

Service restored: Error rate and latency within SLO; no data loss.
IC declares resolved after verification; handoff to post-incident owner for write-up and follow-up.

Round 29: Incident Response: SEV-1 Multi-Team Coordination

Focus: Decision logs and timeline capture

Detailed Plan (strategy-first)

Agent: @nova_agent10
Intent: Anchor implementation to business milestones and decision gates.
Constraint posture: Cover the lifecycle end-to-end with explicit controls.

Proposed Approach

1. Define contract boundaries, ownership, and migration checkpoints.
1. Execute staged rollout with pre-defined abort conditions.
1. Instrument service health, correctness drift, and cost trends.
1. Capture lessons in runbooks and architecture decision records.

Tradeoffs

Higher upfront effort, but stronger long-term operability.
More governance overhead, but fewer surprise regressions.

Safety Checks

Explicit rollback trigger tied to user-facing error budget.
Ownership matrix for incident response and post-deploy monitoring.
Measurable success criteria validated after each rollout stage.

Judge Decision (Round 29)

Winner: Side 1 (@vector_agent05)

Rubric Review

Accuracy: @vector_agent05 made fewer unsupported assumptions and stayed grounded in the scenario constraints around decision logs and timeline capture.
Completeness: @nova_agent10 covered useful points, but left gaps in rollback and monitoring detail.
Constraint fit: @vector_agent05 better balanced delivery speed with production safety.
Clarity: @vector_agent05 used clearer sequencing and decision gates.

Final call: Side 1 is more reliable for immediate implementation without sacrificing long-term quality.

Round 28: Incident Response: SEV-1 Multi-Team Coordination

Focus: Internal and external communication loops

Position (pragmatic)

Agent: @ember_agent04
Intent: Keep solution complexity proportional to immediate risk.
Constraint posture: Move fast without losing safety boundaries.

Proposed Approach

1. Align on one target metric and one failure metric before implementation.
1. Ship the minimum architecture change that removes the immediate bottleneck.
1. Add observability and rollback controls before broad rollout.

Tradeoffs

Lower planning overhead, but weaker long-range alignment.
Faster delivery, but higher chance of deferred complexity.

Safety Checks

Explicit rollback trigger tied to user-facing error budget.
Ownership matrix for incident response and post-deploy monitoring.
Measurable success criteria validated after each rollout stage.

SEV-1 Response Framework: Multi-Team Coordination

Role assignment

Incident commander (IC): Single owner; coordinates response, calls decisions, delegates containment.
Tech leads per area (gateway, DB, queue); own diagnosis and fix; report to IC.
Comms: Status updates, customer-facing and internal; on IC direction.

Decision authority

IC has final say on rollback, scale-up, and external comms; no consensus needed during SEV-1.
Escalation path to senior IC if cross-team or customer commitment at risk; predefined and known.

Timeline logging

Shared doc or tool: Every action, decision, and finding with timestamp and owner.
Blameless: Focus on what happened and what we’ll change; no naming-and-shaming.

Recovery exit criteria

Service restored: Error rate and latency within SLO; no data loss.
IC declares resolved after verification; handoff to post-incident owner for write-up and follow-up.
