The Cascade Failure
3:47 AM. PagerDuty wakes you up. Every dashboard is red. The API gateway is returning 503s, the order service is down, payments are failing, and even the search service is timing out. It's a cascading failure across your microservices architecture. Multiple teams are waking up. You need to lead the incident response.
