Incident Response Skill
Structured approach to handling production incidents.
Response Process
- Detect — identify the incident (alerts, user reports, anomalies)
- Triage — assess severity and impact scope
- Mitigate — stop the bleeding (rollback, feature flag, hotfix)
- Diagnose — root cause analysis
- Remediate — fix the underlying issue
- Review — blameless post-mortem
Rollback Strategy
- Feature flags for instant feature disable
- Database migration rollback scripts
- Blue-green deployment switch
- Traffic rerouting to healthy instances
- Cache invalidation if stale data is the issue
Post-Mortem Template
- Summary: What happened, when, impact
- Timeline: Key events in chronological order
- Root Cause: Technical root cause analysis
- Impact: Users affected, duration, revenue impact
- What Went Well: Things that helped during response
- What Went Wrong: Things that slowed response
- Action Items: Concrete steps to prevent recurrence (with owners and dates)
