But when a deployment rolls out successfully according to Kubernetes but your application starts experiencing latency spikes and error rate increases, the investigation becomes significantly harder. This scenario walks through a configuration drift incident where the deployment appeared healthy but available replicas were constantly flapping, creating cascading reliability issues.
