Support model · Effective 2026-11-02

Platform owns ingestion support with Reliability as the failure escalation

The model separates who responds from the runbook that tells them what to execute.

Service owner: PlatformReview: 2026-11-20

Coverage and intake

Platform owns business-hours support and the existing on-call path for P1/P2 incidents. Operator questions use the service channel; alerts page on-call.

Priority matrix

PriorityDefinitionFirst owner
P1Acceptance stopped for multiple producersPlatform on-call
P2One queue impaired or lag risingPlatform on-call
P3Non-urgent defect or documentation gapPlatform backlog

Escalation and boundaries

After 15 minutes without falling lag, or on any crash loop, Platform escalates to Reliability and stops replica changes. Checkout, Catalog, and Inventory own payload quality. Warehouse schema stays outside the service.

Runbooks own execution; this page owns who responds and when.
