The Alarm Nobody Wanted to Read
The pager goes off at 2:58 AM. The checkout service on an Amazon ECS cluster is throwing a wall of 503s, and the dashboard shows task count dropping every few minutes as tasks start, fail a health check, and get replaced.
Normally this means thirty minutes of grepping through CloudWatch Logs, cross referencing a recent deploy, and guessing whether it is a code bug, a security group change, or something dumber. That night the on call engineer opens a terminal with the Amazon Q Developer CLI already configured against the account.
