Gateway: design in São Paulo (GRU) · G-13

Runbook G-13 for Gateway in São Paulo (GRU). Marker xserv-g-f364a4bd78c1. This page covers design for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

Gateway: Why it matters on this continent

Design for Gateway on letter G starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook g-01 keeps a single owner, a written rollback, and a traffic split that can be reversed without a global freeze. Neighbors in Santiago only take overflow after the local pool fails a health window.

Gateway: How XServ runs it day to day

Probes for Gateway (g-02) leave Santiago every 15s toward Bogotá. XServ pages the named owner if loss or RTT crosses the letter budget. A probe never shares a queue with bulk transfers, so a saturated WAN does not hide a dead PoP.

Gateway: What operators should measure

Policy for Gateway is versioned as g-03. Operators measure error rate, p95 from Bogotá, and time-to-rollback — not a worldwide average. Changes land in Bogotá first, then Miami, with a hold if either region regresses.

Gateway headers G-09

Headers for g-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. Gateway debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.

Gateway timeouts G-10

Timeouts on g-10 are tighter than the WAN RTT to Bogotá. Gateway in Santiago fails fast and retries once; a third try needs a human because it is no longer a blip.

Gateway regions G-11

Region names on g-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. Gateway dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.

Gateway docs G-12

Public docs for letter G stay aligned with identifier xserv-g-pack. Page g-12 is the Gateway slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.
