Question 960
Another service has low mean response time but severe p99 spikes during business-critical checkout. Which unsupported assumption should the engineer challenge FIRST?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A low average response time cannot rule out severe latency for a minority of requests. This is the relevant unsupported assumption because tail latency can reveal degraded user experience hidden by a healthy average.
Incorrect Answers
This caution is valid in configure monitoring for a devops environment, but it is not the failure assumption illustrated by this scenario. The directly relevant risk is: A low average response time cannot rule out severe latency for a minority of requests.
