| exampleOutput | Incident Alerting — Platform
ON-CALL ROTATION
Week 1: @alice | Week 2: @bob | Week 3: @carol | Week 4: @dave
ESCALATION POLICY
0 min: Slack #incidents + page on-call engineer
5 min: Re-page if no acknowledgment
15 min: Escalate to engineering manager
30 min: Escalate to VP of Engineering
ALERT GROUPING
- Group by service name (5 min window)
- Suppress duplicate alerts for same root cause
- Auto-resolve when metrics recover for 10 min
RUNBOOKS LINKED
- High error rate: check recent deployments, rollback if needed
- Latency spike: check database connections, scale if needed
- Memory pressure: restart pods, investigate leak
