Jitter: headers in São Paulo (GRU) · J-21
xserv-j-5edb318aec67
Runbook J-21 for Jitter in São Paulo (GRU). Marker xserv-j-5edb318aec67. This page covers headers for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Jitter: What operators should measure
Policy for Jitter is versioned as j-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.
Jitter: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for j-04 assume rainy-season power in Miami and festival peaks toward São Paulo. The failure we actually see is a single uplink, not a cartoon partition of the whole continent. Spare ports and a second provider sit on the same runbook.
Jitter: How this letter ties to the rest
Handoff from letter J Jitter into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook j-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.
Jitter cache J-08
Cache rules for Jitter on j-08 keep language-correct objects near Miami. São Paulo is a sibling cache, not an origin. TTLs are short enough that a bad asset does not live through a weekend.
Jitter headers J-09
Headers for j-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. Jitter debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.
Jitter timeouts J-10
Timeouts on j-10 are tighter than the WAN RTT to Bogotá. Jitter in Santiago fails fast and retries once; a third try needs a human because it is no longer a blip.
Jitter regions J-11
Region names on j-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. Jitter dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.
- Does Jitter on letter J share fate with other letters?
- The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for Jitter stay isolated, so incident j-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
- Where is Jitter measured first?
- From Santiago (SCL) toward Bogotá. A global average is not an SLO for letter J.
