What this skill does
Apollo Incident Runbook Overview Structured incident response for Apollo.io API failures. Covers severity classification, quick diagnosis, circuit breaker implementation, graceful degradation, and post-incident review. Apollo's public status page is at status.apollo.io. Prerequisites Valid Apollo API key Access to monitoring dashboards Instructions Step 1: Classify Severity Step 2: Quick Diagnosis Script Step 3: Circuit Breaker Step 4: Graceful Degradation by Severity Step 5: Post-Incident Review Template Output Severity classification matrix (P1-P4) with response times Bash diagnostic script (status page, auth, search, rate limits, DNS) Circuit breaker with closed/open/half-open states Graceful degradation procedures per severity level Post-incident review template Examples During a suspected provider outage, the on-call engineer opens an incident, captures the status-page result and redacted diagnostic status codes, and switches the affected read path to its documented cache fallback. Enrichment and sequence writes stay paused while the circuit is open so unknown outcomes are not replayed. After Apollo recovers, allow the circuit breaker’s half-open probes to succeed before restoring normal traffic, then reconcile the queued work with idempotency keys or operator review. Close the incident only after the timeline, customer impact, and a tested corrective action are recorded. Error Handling Issue Escalation ------- ------------ P1 > 15 min Page on-call, open Apollo support ticket P2 > 2 hours Notify engineering management Recurring P3 Promote to P2 tracking issue Apollo outage Verify at status.apollo.io, enable cache fallback Resources Apollo Status Page Apollo Support API Usage Stats Next Steps Proceed to apollo-data-handling for data management.
