Groq Incident Runbook

Overview

Rapid incident response procedures for Groq-related outages.

Prerequisites

  • Access to Groq dashboard and status page
  • kubectl access to production cluster
  • Prometheus/Grafana access
  • Communication channels (Slack, PagerDuty)

Severity Levels

LevelDefinitionResponse TimeExamples
P1Complete outage< 15 minGroq API unreachable
P2Degraded service< 1 hourHigh latency, partial failures
P3Minor impact< 4 hoursWebhook delays, non-critical errors
P4No user impactNext business dayMonitoring gaps

Quick Triage

# 1. Check Groq status
curl -s https://status.groq.com | jq

# 2. Check our integration health
curl -s https://api.yourapp.com/health | jq '.services.groq'

# 3. Check error rate (last 5 min)
curl -s localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=rate(groq_errors_total[5m])

# 4. Recent error logs
kubectl logs -l app=groq-integration --since=5m | grep -i error | tail -20

Decision Tree

Groq API returning errors?
├─ YES: Is status.groq.com showing incident?
│   ├─ YES → Wait for Groq to resolve. Enable fallback.
│   └─ NO → Our integration issue. Check credentials, config.
└─ NO: Is our service healthy?
    ├─ YES → Likely resolved or intermittent. Monitor.
    └─ NO → Our infrastructure issue. Check pods, memory, network.

Immediate Actions by Error Type

401/403 - Authentication

# Verify API key is set
kubectl get secret groq-secrets -o jsonpath='{.data.api-key}' | base64 -d

# Check if key was rotated
# → Verify in Groq dashboard

# Remediation: Update secret and restart pods
kubectl create secret generic groq-secrets --from-literal=api-key=NEW_KEY --dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
kubectl rollout restart deployment/groq-integration

429 - Rate Limited

# Check rate limit headers
curl -v https://api.groq.com 2>&1 | grep -i rate

# Enable request queuing
kubectl set env deployment/groq-integration RATE_LIMIT_MODE=queue

# Long-term: Contact Groq for limit increase

500/503 - Groq Errors

# Enable graceful degradation
kubectl set env deployment/groq-integration GROQ_FALLBACK=true

# Notify users of degraded service
# Update status page

# Monitor Groq status for resolution
