Learning Guidance

Objectives

  • 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

  • observability-audit/dependencies/service-dependency-map.md
  • observability-audit/architecture/service-catalog.md
  • Payment auth failures usually hit checkout conversion first.
  • Workflow or order failures usually hit confirmations and closures.
  • IDP issues impact registered users; guest checkout may still operate.

Overview

This map is derived from:

  • observability-audit/dependencies/service-dependency-map.md
  • observability-audit/architecture/service-catalog.md

Fast Impact Heuristics

  • Payment auth failures usually hit checkout conversion first.
  • Workflow or order failures usually hit confirmations and closures.
  • IDP issues impact registered users; guest checkout may still operate.
  • Menu/cart failures block order creation before payment starts.
