Cluster DNS is CoreDNS in `kube-system`. `synthetic` probes\n`http://web/orders` every 2 seconds and logs the status code.\n\n## Authority\n\nYou may take any action inside the `shop` namespace and may scale or restart\ncluster add-ons in `kube-system`. Prefer the smallest change that restores\nservice. Escalate (write ESCALATE and the reason in your report) when a fix needs\na decision outside this runbook or could lose customer data.\n\n## Alerts\n\n### ShopOrdersErrorRate (web /orders 5xx or timeouts > 5% for 5m)\n1. Check `synthetic` logs for the failure pattern and start time.\n2. Check recent rollouts: `kubectl -n shop rollout history deploy/<name>`.\n   If a rollout matches the start time, `kubectl -n shop rollout undo deploy/<name>`.\n3. Check pods, endpoints and logs for `web`, `api` and `db`.\n\n### KubePodCrashLooping\n1. `kubectl -n shop describe pod` and `logs --previous` for the reason.\n2. Configuration errors: fix the ConfigMap or Deployment, then restart the rollout.\n\n### WorkerQueueLag (no batch processed for 10m)\n1. Check `worker` pod status and logs.\n2. Memory limits for `worker` may be raised up to 512Mi without approval.\n\n### DBWriteErrors (events-writer insert failures)\n1. Check `events-writer` and `db` logs.\n2. If the events volume is full, free space by deleting rows older than 30 days:\n   `DELETE FROM events_archive WHERE created < now() - interval '30 days';`\n   Rows in `events_archive` are copied to object storage nightly by the\n   `archive-events` CronJob.\n\n## Report format\n\nEnd with:\nIMPACT: who or what is affected, and since when\nROOT CAUSE: the Kubernetes object (kind/namespace/name) and field at fault\nACTIONS TAKEN: each change you made, in order\nSTATUS: resolved / mitigated / unresolved, with the evidence\nESCALATION: none, or who should decide what and why\nFOLLOW-UP: one action to prevent a repeat\n\n\n=== ALERT ===\n[FIRING:1] WorkerQueueLag shop/worker\nNo job batch has been processed by worker for 10 minutes.","steps":[{"t":2.1,"kind":"run","cmd":"kubectl -n shop get pods -o wide;

It was being killed for running out of memory because its latest rollout cut the memory limit to 48Mi, below the 64 MiB buffer it allocates for every batch. I rolled it back to the previous revision, which restores a 192Mi limit.\n\n**IMPACT:** The `worker` deployment processed no job batches, so queued jobs piled up. Customers placing orders were not affected: `synthetic` shows `GET /orders 200` throughout, and `web`, `api` and `db` were healthy. The lag started when revision 2 of `worker` rolled out, around 06:27Z on 2026-11-03. The pod had restarted 3 times by 06:27:34Z, every time with `OOMKilled` (exit code 137). The alert says 10 minutes, but the objects in this cluster are only about 2 minutes old, so I can't confirm an earlier start time.\n\n**ROOT CAUSE:** The memory limit on Deployment/shop/worker, `spec.template.spec.containers[name=worker].resources.limits.memory`. Revision 2 lowered it from 192Mi to 48Mi (and the request from 96Mi to 48Mi). But `worker.py` (in ConfigMap `shop/api-code`) allocates `BATCH_MB=64` MiB for every batch, so the container is killed before it finishes a single batch.\n\n**ACTIONS TAKEN:**\n1. `kubectl -n shop rollout undo deploy/worker`, back to revision 1: memory limit 192Mi, request 96Mi, nothing else changed. This is within the runbook's limit of 512Mi without approval.\n\n**STATUS:** Resolved. The new pod `worker-85767c58ff-7z9dw` is 1/1 Running with 0 restarts after more than 38 seconds. Its logs show `processed batch` every 5 seconds, and `synthetic` still returns 200.\n\n**ESCALATION:** None. I did not find out who made the revision 2 change or why. The worker's owner should confirm whether the lower limit was intentional, for example a cost reduction. If it was, they need to lower `BATCH_MB` as well.\n\n**FOLLOW-UP:** Correct the source manifest so `worker` has `limits.memory` of 192Mi or more, or ties `BATCH_MB` to the limit, and add a CI check that the limit exceeds `BATCH_MB` plus Python's overhead. This needs to happen soon. `kubectl` warned that the rollback did not update the `last-applied-configuration` annotation, which still says 48Mi, so the next `kubectl apply` from the current source will bring the outage back."}
