How do you debug a production issue end-to-end?
Answer
A structured approach reduces downtime.
**Steps:**
- Reproduce or narrow scope (affected users, endpoints)
- Check dashboards (latency, errors, deploy markers)
- Follow traces/logs with correlation IDs
- Validate recent changes and feature flags
- Mitigate (rollback/disable flag) before deep fix
Document the root cause and add tests/alerts to prevent regressions.
