Cloud & Serverless — Guardrails and Fix Patterns

A compact hub to harden serverless and edge workloads without touching your core infra. Targets Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, Lambda, Cloud Run, Azure Functions, Fly.io and similar stacks. Each symptom maps to an auditable WFGY fix page with measurable acceptance.

Core acceptance

p95 warm path latency ≤ 300 ms, cold path ≤ 1200 ms under nominal load.
First-byte time on streaming APIs ≤ 500 ms when warm.
Error budget respected: availability ≥ 99.9 percent, SLO tracked per route.
Concurrency never exceeds configured caps. No throttled retries without jitter.
Secrets rotated within policy. Zero PII in logs and vector payloads.
ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 and coverage ≥ 0.70 for RAG routes after any infra change.

Symptom → exact fix

Symptom	Likely cause	Open this
Spiky cold starts and timeouts	oversubscribed concurrency, missing provisioned capacity	cold_start_concurrency.md
Streaming stalls or body cutoffs	proxy buffers, tiny read timeouts, chunked encoding quirks	timeouts_streaming_body_limits.md
Stateless bugs and lost work	in-memory state, duplicate triggers, missing idempotency	stateless_kv_queue_patterns.md
Users see stale results	cache keys drift, no purge on writes	edge_cache_invalidation.md
Webhook storms or data leaks	open egress, retry spirals, payload bloat	egress_rules_and_webhooks.md
Drift between preview and prod	env mismatch, missing checks, unsafe deploys	serverless_ci_cd.md
Boot fails after migration	schema not ready, wrong order, partial writes	env_bootstrap_and_migrations.md
Surprise bills and throttles	no quotas, bursty retries, N+1 calls	quotas_scaling_budget_caps.md
Token leaks and broken rotation	long-lived keys, missing overlap windows	secrets_rotation.md
Cross-region weirdness	sticky sessions, unsynced caches, DNS TTLs	multi_region_routing.md
Failover works in theory only	untested runbooks, stale health checks	region_failover_drills.md
SLOs feel random	no golden signals, no ΔS probes on RAG	observability_slo.md
Canary breaks users silently	uneven traffic splits, noisy metrics	canary_release_serverless.md
Blue-green stuck or unsafe	skewed env vars, missed DB switchover	blue_green_switchovers.md
Disaster playbooks collapse	missing drills, restore paths untested	disaster_recovery_tabletop.md
Backups exist but useless	wrong cadence, missing manifests	data_retention_and_backups.md
PII shows up in logs or vectors	no DLP, loose schemas, unsafe webhooks	privacy_and_pii_edges.md

Fix in 60 seconds

Measure reality: cold vs warm p95, first byte, throttles, ΔS and coverage for RAG routes.
Fence the edges: cache keys, egress allowlist, redaction, idempotency, retries with jitter.
Lock boot order: env, schema, index and rerankers, then app.
Prove recovery: one canary, one blue-green, one failover drill with data restore.

Quick routes to per-page guides

Copy-paste prompt for cloud incidents

You have TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map loaded.

My serverless incident:
- route: [api path]
- env: [prod|staging|preview]
- metrics: { p95_warm_ms, p95_cold_ms, ttfb_ms, throttles, 5xx_rate }
- cache: { key_schema, ttl, purge_events }
- egress: { domains, retries, dlp_rules }
- RAG: { ΔS, coverage, λ states across 3 paraphrases }

Tell me:
1) failing layer and why,
2) the exact WFGY pages to open,
3) the minimal steps to restore SLO today,
4) a small regression suite to keep it fixed.
Return a short, auditable plan.
