Operational field notes
Before promoting Network Status jobs, capture a baseline 403/429 histogram at 4.9K–5.2K workers workers. Scale with jittered schedules; linear ramps often trip velocity detectors on strict domains. Document failover paths when 68–98 ms tails exceed SLO bands.
Escalation paths for Network Status are part of the documentation—not a footer link. When limits hit, measure next: subnet exposure, session stickiness TTL, ALPN parity, and pool class mix (datacenter vs residential vs ISP). Each knob is exposed in the dashboard or API without opening a second vendor relationship.
Network Status integration begins in staging: Versioned integration guides tied to dashboard view slugs. Inject secrets from a vault—never commit long-lived keys to repositories. Validate proxy line formats with operator tools before attaching production worker pools.
