# API Latency Spike Runbook

## Symptoms
- P95 latency above target for 10 minutes.
- Customer reports mention slow saves or timeout errors.

## First Checks
1. Check current deploy status.
2. Review database saturation.
3. Compare error rate with traffic volume.

## Recovery
Rollback recent deploys if latency started after release. Escalate to database owner if saturation remains high.
