The noisy alert

Triage a noisy latency alert, preserve context, and decide when recovery is not enough.

You are the on-call engineer closing the day when a latency alert fires for a customer-facing API. You are not sure yet if it is noise, a partial degradation, or the start of something bigger. Error rate is flat, traffic is normal, and a deploy finished 18 minutes ago.
