  • Map core services to team ownership.
  • Identify likely downstream blast radius for each service family.
  • Distinguish product logic failures from infrastructure saturation.

Evidence To Capture

  • Service owner and escalation path captured.
  • Critical dependency path documented.

Source Artifacts

Internal source references are available for maintainers but are not exposed in deployed environments.

Field Evidence

Real incidents related to what you're learning.

Key Takeaways

  • kepler-datadog/investigation-guide/DOMAIN-CONTEXT.md lists Coach as an internal product.
  • No dedicated Coach monitor or service profile file was present in the current source set.
  • upstream product data or APIs
  • support tooling and portal visibility

Escalation routingcoachincident management leadroute by service ownership matrix

Dependency Model

Coach incidents commonly depend on:

  • upstream product data or APIs
  • support tooling and portal visibility
  • escalation responsiveness from owning teams

Fast Impact Heuristics

  • High ticket volume with matching symptom fingerprints suggests systemic issue.
  • Mixed single-ticket patterns usually indicate user-level or localized issues.
  • Unclear ownership defaults to incident lead escalation, not delayed triage.
