Events applied out of order

On-callReliability & on-callCode quality & reviewSenior–Staff~20 min

Downstream state is inconsistent — events are being applied out of order (an 'update' processed before the 'create', or a stale value overwriting a newer one). How do you respond?

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.
