Playbooks
Operational runbooks for common backend engineering scenarios. Each playbook is a step-by-step guide for a specific situation.
Available Playbooks
| Playbook | When to Use |
|---|---|
| incident-response.md | During a production incident |
| performance-tuning.md | After an incident, or when latency degrades |
Playbook Principles
- Time-boxed steps: Each step should complete in under 5 minutes
- Decision trees: Binary decisions, not ambiguous judgment calls
- Rollback instructions: Every change has a revert path
- Escalation criteria: Clear thresholds for escalating to on-call lead
