On the wire — recorded from a real request

Symptom

what you'll observe

Roughly half of requests fail with 500; retries sometimes succeed.

Cause

what this reproduces

One bad replica behind a load balancer, or a race that trips intermittently.

Fix

how you'd resolve it

Make handlers deterministic; add readiness probes so bad replicas leave rotation.

bash
