• Production checklist/notes: docs/production/README.md
• Troubleshooting: docs/troubleshooting/README.md

“First 30 minutes” incident checklist

1. Confirm user impact + scope

   • What is broken: UI, API, auth, or gateway integration?
   • Is it all users or a subset?

2. Check service health

   • Backend: /healthz and /readyz
   • Frontend: can it load? does it reach the API?

3. Check auth (Clerk) configuration

   • Frontend: is Clerk enabled unexpectedly? (publishable key set)
   • Backend: is CLERK_JWKS_URL configured correctly?

4. Check DB connectivity

   • Can backend connect to Postgres (DATABASE_URL)?

5. Check logs

   • Backend logs for 5xx spikes or auth failures.
   • Frontend logs for proxy/API URL misconfig.

6. Stabilize

   • Roll back the last change if available.
   • Temporarily disable optional integrations (gateway) to isolate.

Backups / restore (placeholder)

• Define backup cadence and restore steps once production deployment is finalized.
