Framework

Is the regression in the application service layer?

New code path introducing O(n²) complexity?

Flame graph shows 60% CPU in nested loop (added in PR #4821)

p99 correlated with request payload size — O(n²) signature

Thread pool exhaustion or blocking I/O?

Thread pool utilization: 94% (up from 41% pre-deploy)

Synchronous Redis call added to critical path — no timeout set

Is the regression in the data access layer?

Database query plan changed (missing index, stats stale)?

EXPLAIN shows full table scan on orders (87M rows) — index dropped in migration

DB CPU: 88% vs 32% baseline; connection pool wait: +210ms median

Cache hit rate degraded after deploy?

Redis hit rate: 61% (was 94%) — key schema changed, cold start in progress

Is the regression caused by infrastructure changes?

Network latency or instance type change?

Deploy rolled new instance type: c5.2xlarge → c5a.2xlarge (AMD); 12% lower network bandwidth

Cross-AZ traffic increased 40% — RDS replica not updated to same AZ

Config drift — timeout or concurrency limits changed?

Max concurrent DB connections reduced from 200 → 50 in new env config
