Describes how to fix backup window overruns where jobs queue into production hours by measuring change rate and bottleneck throughput, rescheduling and staggering jobs, and cutting closing work from the window. Use when backups are individually healthy but collectively too slow. Not for a single job failing with a pro…
Fixes offsite replication lag that keeps growing so the copy never catches up, by measuring change rate against throughput and fixing the bottleneck. Use when replica age grows daily despite jobs running. Not for a replication job that errors and stops.
Debugs API usage falling to zero after a migration by checking endpoint, credential, and base-URL changes against gateway logs. Use when API consumers go silent post-migration. Not for a decommissioned API that was announced and sunset.
Fixes a rightsizing that throttles a database by adding IOPS and throughput requirements to volume sizing. Use when a gp3 volume throttles because rightsizing ignored IOPS needs. Not for CPU-bound database issues.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent shrank the database volume below the provisioned IOPS the workload needed, latency spiked - agent recommended gp3 migration - "VolumeModificationRateExceeded" stalled the batch

Fixes an RDS read-replica consolidation that hurts latency by requiring a latency and load check before removing replicas. Use when replica consolidation increases read latency. Not for replicas with genuinely no traffic.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent flagged the holiday read-replica fleet as idle - it didn't know the replicas exist only for December - [agent recommended adding an index that made writes 3x slower -- it only measured read lat…

Fixes a Lambda scheduler hitting reserved concurrency limits by raising the limit or serializing the stop run. Use when a Lambda-based stop scheduler throttles on reserved concurrency during the nightly run. Not for Lambda timeout errors.
Fixes a stalled gp3 migration batch hitting VolumeModificationRateExceeded by pacing volume modifications. Use when a gp3 migration batch stalls because volume modifications are rate-limited. Not for volumes that cannot be modified at all.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent recommended a 3-year reserved instance for a service the roadmap deprecates in 8 months - [agent's suggested index fixed the SELECT but the migration locked the table for 40 minutes during the …

Requires 14-30 days of metrics and a batch-window check before any rightsizing decision. Use when a downsizing decision made on a short window got blindsided by a recurring job. Not for workloads with genuinely stable, flat utilization.
Separates volume size from provisioned IOPS when downsizing database storage so throughput never drops with the disk. Use when a rightsizing run shrank an EBS volume and database latency spiked. Not for gp2 volumes where IOPS are tied to size.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent couldn't reproduce the deadlock -- it needs two specific cron jobs overlapping, which never happens in the test... - [cost agent recommended downsizing a prod database - it didn't know the inst…

How to fix a deploy marked failed because the health check queried a table the migration had locked: making health checks lock-aware and migration-safe. Use when health checks fail spuriously during migrations. Not for health checks failing because the app is genuinely broken.
How to fix gh-ost's "FATAL cannot acquire lock on table" during an online schema migration: finding the blocking workload, retrying the cutover in a quiet window, and tuning the lock settings. Use when gh-ost fails at the cutover step because it cannot get the brief table lock it needs. Not for failures during the row…

Explains why an EBS gp2 to gp3 modification still bills at gp2 rates until month end. Covers how EBS billing prorates volume types, what to expect on the next invoice, and verifying the change applied. Use when the bill does not reflect a recent volume type change. Not for performance issues after migration.
