(1) The smallest design to address the doubled p95 latency is to implement distributed tracing across the services involved in the request lifecycle. This will allow us to pinpoint the exact service or bottleneck that is contributing to the higher latency. Focus initially on the most commonly used high-traffic endpoints for monitoring. (2) The main trade-off this design accepts is the additional overhead of instrumentation and potential performance impacts of tracing itself during data collection. However, this is a manageable increment that will provide critical insights into where the issues are occurring. (3) The first concrete step to take on Monday is to set up a distributed tracing solution (like OpenTelemetry or Jaeger) in the staging environment, instrument the high-priority endpoints, and begin gathering data to analyze the latency issues.

Checkout p95 latency doubled after the last release. Where do we start?

What it will not do, quoted from the prompt's own Rules block:
- Recommend the smallest design that solves the problem — no speculative generality.
- Name the main trade-off the design accepts, out loud.
- End with the first concrete step to take on Monday.
What one run costs
Input tokens the prompt consumes each time you run it, measured per section. Your filled variables add to the total; what the model writes back is output, billed separately.
Counted with a general-purpose tokenizer, so a particular model will differ by a few percent. These are input tokens only — what you type into the variables adds to them, and the answer the model writes back is output, usually billed three to five times higher.
