It’s 2:15 AM. Your phone buzzes aggressively. 🚨
You jump out of bed, open your laptop with half-closed eyes, and join an emergency incident response call. Your team’s Slack channel is exploding:
You spend the next 2 hours manually connecting the dots: querying Prometheus metrics, scrolling through endless Loki logs, cross-referencing Tempo traces, and checking recent ArgoCD deployments.
Eventually, you uncover the truth: Deployment #218, pushed right before midnight, introduced a subtle memory leak that triggered GC pressure, spiked CPU, starved the Redis connection pool, and knocked down the Payment API.
Sounds familiar? 😅
