Deep service chain latency

On-callReliability & on-callSenior~20 min

A user-facing service is slow, and you trace it through service A -> B -> C, where C (deep in the chain) is the actual slow one. How do you handle it now and after?

What a strong answer looks like

Stop the bleeding first (mitigate), then form hypotheses from real signals. Separate root cause from symptom, communicate status as you go, and close with what prevents a repeat.

Which questions mattered is sealed until you submit. Telling you now would just be handing over the edge cases.
