Jitter: design in São Paulo (GRU) · J-73
xserv-j-84d8b6f299d5
Runbook J-73 for Jitter in São Paulo (GRU). Marker xserv-j-84d8b6f299d5. This page covers design for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Jitter: Why it matters on this continent
Design for Jitter on letter J starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook j-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.
Jitter: How XServ runs it day to day
Probes for Jitter (j-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.
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 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.
Jitter docs J-12
Public docs for letter J stay aligned with identifier xserv-j-pack. Page j-12 is the Jitter slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.
