Hints: latency-spike

Hint 1

Response times are elevated. Check resource usage: - kubectl top pods -n grokdevops - kubectl top nodes

Hint 2

The issue is likely resource-related. Check: - Is CPU near the limit? (CPU throttling) - Are there enough replicas? kubectl get hpa -n grokdevops - Was there a recent deployment? helm history grokdevops -n grokdevops | tail -3

Hint 3

Narrow down to the bottleneck: - CPU throttled: increase cpu limits or add replicas - Memory pressure: check for swap or OOM risk - Application-level: check logs for slow queries or timeouts - kubectl logs -n grokdevops <pod> --tail=20

Hint 4

Fix: scale up replicas, increase resource limits, or address the application bottleneck. Use Grafana dashboards (port-forward to 3000) to see the latency distribution and identify the slowest endpoints.
