Summary
This issue tracks production-readiness work for the Checkout Service. The concern is related to misconfigured feature flag targeting a broad customer segment. The implementation area touches API contracts API-CHECKOUT-01, API-CHECKOUT-02, service telemetry, and operational runbooks.
Engineering Notes
- Validate that retries are bounded and idempotency keys are respected.
- Add structured logs with service, correlation_id, and customer_impact fields.
- Confirm dashboards show p95 latency, error rate, dependency saturation, and queue depth.
- Cross-service impact should be reviewed with Checkout Service, Billing Service, Inventory Service, Authentication Service, and Notification Service owners when applicable.
Acceptance Criteria
- Contract tests cover expected and malformed payloads.
- Runbook references are updated for Checkout Service.
- The change can be linked from Jira remediation tickets and incident reviews.
