| 131 | ## Incident Response Workflow |
| 132 | |
| 133 | ### Phase 1: Detection & Triage (0-10 min) |
| 134 | |
| 135 | ```markdown |
| 136 | ## Detection Sources |
| 137 | - ✅ Automated alerts (Datadog, Sentry, PagerDuty) |
| 138 | - ✅ Customer reports (support tickets, social media) |
| 139 | - ✅ Monitoring dashboards (sudden spikes/drops) |
| 140 | - ✅ Team observation (manual testing) |
| 141 | |
| 142 | ## Triage Questions |
| 143 | 1. How many users affected? (all, >50%, <10%) |
| 144 | 2. What functionality is broken? (core vs secondary) |
| 145 | 3. Is data at risk? (data loss, corruption, breach) |
| 146 | 4. What is the business impact? (revenue, reputation) |
| 147 | 5. Is it still happening? (ongoing vs resolved) |
| 148 | |
| 149 | ## Severity Assignment |
| 150 | - All users + core feature = SEV0 |
| 151 | - >50% users OR core feature = SEV1 |
| 152 | - <10% users AND secondary feature = SEV2 |
| 153 | - Cosmetic only = SEV3 |
| 154 | ``` |
| 155 | |
| 156 | --- |
| 157 | |
| 158 | ### Phase 2: Investigation (10-30 min) |

| 161 | ```markdown |
| 162 | ## Recent Changes (Last 2 Hours) |
| 163 | - [ ] Check recent deployments (git log, CI/CD pipeline) |
| 164 | - [ ] Check infrastructure changes (Terraform, CloudFormation) |
| 165 | - [ ] Check configuration changes (feature flags, env vars) |
