 ## Responsibilities
 
-### 1. CI/CD Pipeline Health
+### 1. SRE Golden Signals
+
+Monitor the four golden signals as defined by Google SRE. Every service must report all four:
+
+| Signal | What It Measures | Key Metrics | Alert Thresholds |
+|:-------|:-----------------|:------------|:-----------------|
+| **Latency** | Time to service a request | p50, p90, p95, p99 response time | p99 > 200ms (warn), p99 > 500ms (critical) |
+| **Traffic** | Demand on the system | Requests/sec, concurrent connections, messages/sec | Sustained > 80% of rated capacity |
+| **Errors** | Rate of failed requests | HTTP 5xx rate, exception rate, timeout rate | Error rate > 0.1% (warn), > 1% (critical) |
+| **Saturation** | How full the service is | CPU utilization, memory usage, queue depth, disk I/O | CPU > 70% (warn), memory > 80% (critical) |
+
+**Latency guidelines:**
+- Measure latency of successful requests and failed requests separately — slow errors mask true latency
+- Track latency at percentiles, never averages — averages hide tail latency
+- Set latency SLOs at p99, not p50 — users remember their worst experience
+
+**Traffic guidelines:**
+- Establish baseline traffic patterns per hour, day, and week
+- Detect anomalous traffic spikes that may indicate abuse or cascading failures
+- Correlate traffic changes with deployment events
+
+**Error classification:**
+- Distinguish client errors (4xx) from server errors (5xx) — only 5xx count against error budget
+- Track partial failures (degraded responses) separately from hard failures
+- Monitor error rates per endpoint, not just globally
+
+**Saturation modeling:**
+- Measure saturation as percentage of capacity consumed, not raw utilization
+- Project time-to-exhaustion: at current growth rate, when does saturation reach critical?
+- Alert on rate-of-change, not just absolute thresholds — a sudden jump from 30% to 60% CPU is more concerning than steady 65%
+
+---
+
+### 2. SLO/SLI/SLA Framework
+
+#### Service Level Indicators (SLIs)
+
+SLIs are the quantitative measures of service behavior. Define them precisely:
+
+| SLI Category | Metric | Measurement Method |
+|:-------------|:-------|:-------------------|
+| Availability | Proportion of successful requests | `count(status < 500) / count(total)` over rolling window |
+| Latency | Proportion of requests faster than threshold | `count(duration < 200ms) / count(total)` at p99 |
+| Throughput | Requests processed per second | Measured at load balancer, sampled every 10s |
+| Correctness | Proportion of responses with valid data | End-to-end probe checks against known-good responses |
+| Freshness | Proportion of data updated within threshold | `count(age < 60s) / count(total_records)` |
+
+#### Service Level Objectives (SLOs)
+
+SLOs are the target reliability levels. Set them based on user expectations, not engineering pride:
+
+| Tier | Availability SLO | Allowed Downtime/Year | Allowed Downtime/Month | Error Budget/Month |
+|:-----|:-----------------|:----------------------|:-----------------------|:-------------------|
+| Tier 1 (Critical) | 99.99% | 52 minutes | 4.3 minutes | 0.01% of requests |
+| Tier 2 (Important) | 99.9% | 8.76 hours | 43.8 minutes | 0.1% of requests |
+| Tier 3 (Standard) | 99.5% | 43.8 hours | 3.65 hours | 0.5% of requests |
+| Tier 4 (Best Effort) | 99.0% | 87.6 hours | 7.3 hours | 1.0% of requests |
+
+**SLO selection principles:**
+- Do not set SLOs higher than users can perceive — 99.999% is meaningless if your frontend polls every 30 seconds
+- SLOs must be achievable with current architecture — aspirational SLOs erode trust
+- Every SLO must have an owner, a measurement system, and a consequence for breach
+
+#### Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
+
+SLAs are contractual obligations. They must always be less aggressive than SLOs:
+
+- Set SLA at least one 9 below the SLO (if SLO is 99.9%, SLA is 99%)
+- Define financial consequences (credits, refunds) for SLA breach
+- Include exclusion windows (planned maintenance, force majeure)
+- Publish SLA dashboards for transparency
+
+#### Error Budget Calculation
+
+```
+Error Budget = 1 - SLO
+
+Example (99.9% SLO over 30-day window):
+  Total minutes in 30 days = 43,200
+  Error budget = 43,200 * 0.001 = 43.2 minutes of allowed downtime
+  Budget consumed = (actual_downtime / 43.2) * 100%
+```
+
+**Burn rate alerting:**
+
+| Burn Rate | Meaning | Budget Exhaustion | Alert Severity |
+|:----------|:--------|:------------------|:---------------|
+| 1x | Normal consumption | End of window | No alert |
+| 2x | Double normal rate | Half the window | Warning |
+| 10x | Rapid consumption | 3 days | Page on-call |
+| 100x | Active incident | 7.2 hours | Page all responders |
+
+**Error budget policy:**
+- When > 50% consumed: halt risky deployments, prioritize reliability work
+- When > 80% consumed: freeze feature releases, all hands on reliability
+- When exhausted: full feature freeze until budget resets or reliability improves
+
+---
+
+### 3. Observability — OpenTelemetry
+
+Implement the three pillars of observability using OpenTelemetry standards:
+
+#### Pillar 1: Structured Logging
+
+**Log format** — all logs must be structured JSON:
+
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.123Z",
+  "level": "error",
+  "service": "api-gateway",
+  "traceId": "abc123def456",
+  "spanId": "span789",
+  "correlationId": "req-uuid-001",
+  "message": "Payment processing failed",
+  "error": { "type": "TimeoutError", "code": "GATEWAY_TIMEOUT" },
+  "context": { "userId": "u-123", "amount": 49.99 }
+}
+```
+
+**Log levels** — use consistently across all services:
+
+| Level | When to Use | Alerting |
+|:------|:------------|:---------|
+| `fatal` | Process cannot continue, exiting | Page immediately |
+| `error` | Operation failed, requires attention | Alert on threshold |
+| `warn` | Unexpected but handled, degraded behavior | Dashboard metric |
+| `info` | Significant business events (request served, job completed) | None |
+| `debug` | Diagnostic detail (variable values, decision branches) | Never in production |
+
+**Logging rules:**
+- Every log entry must include `traceId` and `correlationId` for cross-service correlation
+- Never log PII (emails, passwords, tokens) — redact or hash sensitive fields
+- Use centralized log aggregation (ELK, Loki, CloudWatch Logs)
+- Set log retention policies: 30 days hot, 90 days warm, 1 year cold storage
+
+#### Pillar 2: Metrics
+
+Apply the **RED method** for services and the **USE method** for resources:
+
+**RED Method (for every service endpoint):**
+
+| Metric | What to Measure | Example |
+|:-------|:----------------|:--------|
+| **R**ate | Requests per second | `http_requests_total` counter |
+| **E**rrors | Failed requests per second | `http_errors_total` counter, labeled by status code |
+| **D**uration | Latency distribution | `http_request_duration_seconds` histogram |
+
+**USE Method (for every resource — CPU, memory, disk, network):**
+
+| Metric | What to Measure | Example |
+|:-------|:----------------|:--------|
+| **U**tilization | Percentage of resource busy | `node_cpu_seconds_total` gauge |
+| **S**aturation | Queue depth or backlog | `node_disk_io_time_weighted_seconds` |
+| **E**rrors | Resource error count | `node_network_receive_errs_total` |
+
+**Metric naming conventions:**
+- Use `snake_case` with unit suffix: `http_request_duration_seconds`
+- Counters end in `_total`: `requests_total`
+- Use labels for dimensions: `method="GET"`, `status="200"`, `endpoint="/api/users"`
+- Avoid high-cardinality labels (no user IDs, request IDs, or timestamps as labels)
+
+#### Pillar 3: Distributed Tracing
+
+**Trace structure:**
+- A **trace** represents an entire request lifecycle across services
+- A **span** represents a single operation within a trace (database query, HTTP call, function execution)
+- Spans form a tree: parent spans contain child spans
+
+**Trace context propagation:**
+- Propagate `traceparent` header (W3C Trace Context) across all service boundaries
+- Include `tracestate` for vendor-specific context
+- Inject trace context into message queues, background jobs, and async operations
+
+**Sampling strategies:**
+
+| Strategy | Description | When to Use |
+|:---------|:------------|:------------|
+| Head-based | Decide at trace start whether to sample | Low-traffic services, simple setup |
+| Tail-based | Decide after trace completes (keep errors, slow traces) | High-traffic services, cost-sensitive |
+| Priority | Always sample errors and high-latency traces | Production environments |
+| Rate-limited | Sample N traces per second | Extremely high-traffic services |
+
+**Recommended sampling rates:**
+- Development: 100% (sample everything)
+- Staging: 50%
+- Production: 1-10% head-based + 100% of errors and slow traces via tail-based
+
+---
+
+### 4. Incident Response Protocol
+
+#### Severity Levels
+
+| Severity | Impact | Response Time | Responders | Communication |
+|:---------|:-------|:--------------|:-----------|:--------------|
+| **SEV1** | Complete service outage, data loss risk | 5 minutes | All on-call + incident commander + leadership | Status page, exec notification every 30 min |
+| **SEV2** | Major feature degraded, significant user impact | 15 minutes | Primary on-call + incident commander | Status page, stakeholder update every hour |
+| **SEV3** | Minor feature degraded, workaround available | 1 hour | Primary on-call | Internal channel notification |
+| **SEV4** | Cosmetic issue, no user impact | Next business day | Assigned engineer | Ticket created |
+
+#### On-Call Procedures
+
+1. **Rotation**: Weekly primary + secondary rotation, minimum 2-person coverage
+2. **Escalation path**: Primary on-call (5 min) -> Secondary (10 min) -> Engineering manager (15 min) -> VP Engineering (30 min)
+3. **Handoff**: End-of-rotation handoff document with active issues, recent changes, known risks
+4. **Compensation**: On-call engineers receive comp time or stipend per rotation
+
+#### Incident Commander Role
+
+The incident commander (IC) is the single authority during an active incident:
+
+- **Declares** incident severity and assembles the response team
+- **Coordinates** investigation and remediation efforts
+- **Communicates** status updates to stakeholders at defined intervals
+- **Decides** whether to escalate or de-escalate severity
+- **Calls** the all-clear when service is restored
+- **Initiates** the post-mortem process within 48 hours
+
+#### Communication Template (Status Page)
+
+```
+[TIMESTAMP] - [SERVICE] - [SEVERITY]
+
+Status: Investigating | Identified | Monitoring | Resolved
+
+Impact: [Description of user-facing impact]
+
+Current actions: [What the team is doing right now]
+
+Next update: [Time of next planned update]
+```
+
+#### Blameless Post-Mortem Format
+
+Every SEV1 and SEV2 incident requires a post-mortem within 5 business days:
+
+1. **Incident summary** — one-paragraph description of what happened
+2. **Timeline** — minute-by-minute from detection to resolution
+3. **Impact** — users affected, duration, revenue impact, error budget consumed
+4. **Root cause** — the systemic issue, not the human who triggered it
+5. **Contributing factors** — what made detection, diagnosis, or recovery slower
+6. **What went well** — systems, processes, or actions that helped
+7. **Action items** — specific, assigned, deadlined improvements (categorized as prevent, detect, mitigate)
+8. **Lessons learned** — insights for the broader team
+
+**Blameless principle**: Post-mortems examine systems and processes, never individual blame. The question is always "how did the system allow this to happen?" not "who caused this?"
+
+---
+
+### 5. Chaos Engineering
+
+#### Principles
+
+1. **Start with steady state** — define measurable steady state behavior (golden signals within SLO)
+2. **Vary real-world events** — inject failures that actually occur (network partitions, disk full, process crashes, clock skew)
+3. **Run experiments in production** — staging cannot replicate production complexity; start small with blast radius controls
+4. **Automate experiments** — continuous chaos validates resilience as the system evolves
+5. **Minimize blast radius** — always have abort conditions and rollback plans
+
+#### Experiment Design
+
+Every chaos experiment must define:
+
+| Element | Description | Example |
+|:--------|:------------|:--------|
+| **Hypothesis** | What you expect to happen | "When database primary fails, reads continue via replica within 5s" |
+| **Steady state** | Baseline metrics before experiment | p99 latency < 200ms, error rate < 0.1% |
+| **Injection** | The fault being introduced | Kill database primary process |
+| **Blast radius** | Scope of potential impact | Single availability zone, 33% of traffic |
+| **Abort conditions** | When to stop immediately | Error rate > 5%, latency > 2s, any data loss |
+| **Duration** | How long the experiment runs | 10 minutes injection, 20 minutes observation |
+| **Rollback plan** | How to restore normal state | Restart database, failover to standby |
+
+#### Chaos Experiment Categories
+
+| Category | Experiments | What It Validates |
+|:---------|:------------|:------------------|
+| **Infrastructure** | Kill instances, fill disks, exhaust memory | Auto-scaling, health checks, resource limits |
+| **Network** | Add latency, drop packets, partition zones | Timeouts, retries, circuit breakers |
+| **Application** | Inject exceptions, corrupt responses, slow dependencies | Error handling, fallbacks, graceful degradation |
+| **State** | Clock skew, stale caches, split-brain scenarios | Consistency guarantees, cache invalidation |
+
+#### Gameday Exercises
+
+Schedule quarterly gameday exercises:
+- Simulate a realistic multi-component failure scenario
+- Practice full incident response protocol with real on-call rotation
+- Measure time-to-detect, time-to-mitigate, time-to-resolve
+- Generate action items to improve resilience based on findings
+
+---
+
+### 6. Resilience Patterns — Deep
+
+#### Circuit Breaker
+
+The circuit breaker prevents cascading failures by short-circuiting calls to unhealthy dependencies:
+
+**States:**
+
+| State | Behavior | Transition Condition |
+|:------|:---------|:---------------------|
+| **Closed** | All requests pass through normally | Failure count exceeds threshold -> Open |
+| **Open** | All requests fail immediately (fast-fail) | Timer expires -> Half-Open |
+| **Half-Open** | Limited probe requests pass through | Probe succeeds -> Closed; Probe fails -> Open |
+
+**Configuration thresholds:**
+- Failure threshold: 5 failures in 60-second window triggers Open
+- Open duration: 30 seconds before transitioning to Half-Open
+- Half-Open probe count: 3 successful requests required to close
+- Track failure rate (percentage), not just failure count, to avoid false triggers at low traffic
+
+#### Bulkhead Pattern
+
+Isolate failure domains to prevent one failing component from consuming all resources:
+
+- **Thread pool bulkhead**: Dedicate separate thread pools per downstream dependency — if Service A is slow, it cannot starve Service B of threads
+- **Connection pool bulkhead**: Separate connection pools per database/service
+- **Queue bulkhead**: Separate message queues per workload priority (critical, standard, batch)
+- **Process bulkhead**: Run critical services in isolated processes or containers
+
+#### Retry with Exponential Backoff + Jitter
+
+Never retry immediately — exponential backoff prevents thundering herd:
+
+```
+delay = min(base_delay * 2^attempt + random_jitter, max_delay)
+
+Where:
+  base_delay = 100ms
+  attempt = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
+  random_jitter = random(0, base_delay)
+  max_delay = 30 seconds
+  max_attempts = 5
+```
+
+**Retry rules:**
+- Only retry idempotent operations (GET, PUT, DELETE with idempotency key)
+- Never retry non-idempotent operations (POST without idempotency key) — risk of duplicate side effects
+- Add jitter to prevent synchronized retries from multiple clients (thundering herd)
+- Set a retry budget: maximum 10% of total requests can be retries — if exceeded, stop retrying and fail fast
+- Propagate retry context in headers so downstream services know this is a retry
+
+#### Timeout Cascades
+
+Set timeouts at every layer, decreasing from outer to inner:
+
+```
+Client timeout:        10s
+  API Gateway timeout:   8s
+    Service A timeout:     5s
+      Database timeout:      2s
+      Cache timeout:         500ms
+    Service B timeout:     3s
+```
+
+**Timeout rules:**
+- Inner timeouts must be shorter than outer timeouts — otherwise the outer caller times out first and the inner work is wasted
+- Include time for retries within the outer timeout budget
+- Use deadline propagation: pass the absolute deadline (not relative timeout) so each service knows how much time remains
+
+#### Graceful Degradation Strategies
+
+| Strategy | When to Apply | Example |
+|:---------|:--------------|:--------|
+| **Feature flags** | Non-critical feature fails | Disable recommendations, show static content |
+| **Fallback data** | Primary data source unavailable | Serve cached data, default values |
+| **Load shedding** | System approaching saturation | Reject low-priority requests with 503 |
+| **Throttling** | Single tenant consuming excess resources | Rate limit per tenant/API key |
+| **Read-only mode** | Write path failures | Accept reads, queue writes for later |
+
+---
+
+### 7. Capacity Planning
+
+#### Load Testing Methodology
+
+1. **Baseline test** — measure current capacity under normal traffic patterns
+2. **Stress test** — increase load until failure to find breaking point
+3. **Soak test** — run at 70% capacity for 24+ hours to detect memory leaks, connection exhaustion
+4. **Spike test** — simulate sudden traffic burst (10x normal) to validate auto-scaling
+5. **Breakpoint test** — incrementally increase until SLO breach to determine maximum safe capacity
+
+#### Capacity Model
+
+Build a capacity model for each service:
+
+```
+Rated capacity = (instances * requests_per_second_per_instance) * efficiency_factor
+
+Where:
+  requests_per_second_per_instance = measured via load test
+  efficiency_factor = 0.7 (reserve 30% headroom for spikes)
+
+Example:
+  4 instances * 500 req/s * 0.7 = 1,400 req/s rated capacity
+```
+
+**Capacity metrics to track:**
+- Current utilization as percentage of rated capacity
+- Growth rate (requests/sec trend over 30/60/90 days)
+- Time-to-exhaustion at current growth rate
+- Cost per request (infrastructure cost / total requests)
+
+#### Scaling Triggers
+
+| Resource | Warn Threshold | Critical Threshold | Scaling Action |
+|:---------|:---------------|:-------------------|:---------------|
+| CPU | > 70% sustained 5 min | > 85% sustained 2 min | Add instances |
+| Memory | > 75% sustained 5 min | > 85% sustained 2 min | Add instances or increase memory |
+| Disk I/O | > 70% sustained 5 min | > 85% sustained 2 min | Optimize queries or add read replicas |
+| Queue depth | > 1000 messages | > 5000 messages | Add consumers |
+| Connection pool | > 80% utilized | > 90% utilized | Increase pool size or add instances |
+
+#### Horizontal vs Vertical Scaling Decision
+
+| Factor | Horizontal (add instances) | Vertical (bigger instance) |
+|:-------|:--------------------------|:--------------------------|
+| **Stateless services** | Preferred — linear scaling | Not recommended |
+| **Databases** | Read replicas for reads, sharding for writes | Preferred for single-node performance |
+| **Cost efficiency** | Better at scale (commodity hardware) | Better for small workloads |
+| **Failure isolation** | Better — one instance failure is partial | Worse — single point of failure |
+| **Complexity** | Higher (load balancing, state management) | Lower (single node) |
+| **Scaling speed** | Minutes (container startup) | Minutes to hours (instance resize) |
+
+**Decision rule**: Default to horizontal scaling for application services. Use vertical scaling only for stateful components (databases, caches) where horizontal adds unacceptable complexity.
+
+---
+
+### 8. CI/CD Pipeline Health
 
 - Analyze GitHub Actions workflow status and run times
 - Detect flaky tests and recommend isolation strategies
 - Monitor build success rates and identify degradation trends
 - Recommend pipeline optimizations (caching, parallelism, timeouts)
+- Track deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and mean time to recovery (DORA metrics)
 
-### 2. Dependency Management
+### 9. Dependency Management
 
 - Review `npm audit` output for high/critical vulnerabilities
 - Assess dependency update risk (breaking changes, major versions)
 - Recommend update cadence (weekly patch, monthly minor, quarterly major)
-- Detect abandoned or unmaintained dependencies
+- Detect abandoned or unmaintained dependencies (no commits in 12+ months, no response to issues)
 
-### 3. Production Readiness Assessment
+### 10. Production Readiness Assessment
 
 Before every production deploy, verify:
 
 | Criterion | Required | Check |
 |:----------|:---------|:------|
-| Tests pass | ✅ Required | `npm test` exit 0 |
-| Build succeeds | ✅ Required | `npm run build` exit 0 |
-| No critical vulnerabilities | ✅ Required | `npm audit` clean |
-| Lint clean | ✅ Required | `npm run lint` exit 0 |
-| Type check clean | ✅ Required | `npx tsc --noEmit` exit 0 |
-| Documentation updated | ⚠️ Recommended | Relevant docs match code |
-| CHANGELOG updated | ⚠️ Recommended | New entry for changes |
-| Migration tested | ⚠️ If applicable | DB migrations verified |
-
-### 4. Error Budget Philosophy
-
-Apply SRE error budget principles:
-- Define acceptable error rates per service
-- Track error budget consumption over time
-- When budget is nearly exhausted, prioritize reliability over features
-- Reset budgets at the start of each sprint/release cycle
-
-### 5. Resilience Patterns
-
-Recommend and implement:
-- **Retry with exponential backoff** for transient failures
-- **Circuit breakers** for external service dependencies
-- **Graceful degradation** when non-critical services fail
-- **Health check endpoints** for container orchestration
-- **Structured logging** with correlation IDs for traceability
