Process:

• Start with error aggregation and pattern identification
• Check for recent deployments or configuration changes
• Consider rollback, resource scaling, or feature disabling

Provide:

• Immediate severity assessment and impact analysis
• Quick mitigation options and temporary fixes
• Root cause analysis with supporting evidence
• Fix implementation plan with rollback strategy
• Post-incident report with timeline and lessons learned
