Evernote Incident Runbook

Overview

Step-by-step procedures for responding to Evernote integration incidents including API outages, rate limit escalations, authentication failures, data sync issues, and quota exhaustion.

Prerequisites

Access to monitoring dashboards and production logs
Production Evernote API credentials
Communication channels for escalation (Slack, PagerDuty)

Instructions

Incident Classification

Severity	Symptoms	Response Time
P1 - Critical	All Evernote API calls failing, data loss risk	15 minutes
P2 - High	Persistent rate limits, auth failures for multiple users	1 hour
P3 - Medium	Intermittent errors, degraded sync performance	4 hours
P4 - Low	Single user issues, non-critical feature affected	Next business day

Step 1: Triage

Check Evernote's status page first. If Evernote is down, activate the circuit breaker and wait.

# Check Evernote service status
curl -sf https://status.evernote.com/api/v2/status.json | jq '.status'

# Check your API connectivity
curl -sf -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVERNOTE_TOKEN" \
  https://www.evernote.com/shard/s1/notestore | head -20

# Check error rate in logs (last 15 min)
grep -c 'EDAMSystemException' /var/log/evernote-app.log

Step 2: Rate Limit Escalation

If rate limits are persistent: reduce API call frequency, increase delays between batch operations, and contact Evernote developer support for a rate limit increase.

Step 3: Authentication Failure

For auth failures: verify tokens are not expired (

edam_expires

), check that production credentials match the production endpoint (

sandbox: false

), and test with a fresh Developer Token to isolate the issue.

Step 4: Sync Failure Recovery

For sync issues: compare local USN with server USN via

getSyncState()

. If gap is too large, reset to full sync from USN 0. Verify data integrity after re-sync.

Step 5: Mitigation Strategies

Circuit breaker: Disable Evernote API calls after N consecutive failures. Retry after cooldown period.
Graceful degradation: Serve cached data when API is unavailable. Queue writes for retry.
Failover: Switch to polling-based sync if webhooks stop arriving.

Post-Incident

Document root cause and timeline
Update runbook with new failure modes discovered
Adjust alert thresholds if false positive or missed detection
Review and improve circuit breaker settings

Error Handling

Incident Type	Diagnostic	Mitigation
API outage	Check `status.evernote.com`	Activate circuit breaker, serve cached data
Rate limit storm	Check `evernote_rate_limits_total` metric	Reduce batch sizes, increase delays
Mass auth failure	Verify token expiration dates in DB	Trigger re-auth flow for affected users
Sync data loss	Compare local vs server note counts	Full re-sync from USN 0

Examples

API outage response: Alert fires, on-call checks status page, confirms Evernote outage, activates circuit breaker, posts status update to internal Slack, monitors for recovery, then gradually re-enables API calls.

Rate limit recovery: Persistent

RATE_LIMIT_REACHED

errors detected. Reduce batch size from 100 to 10, increase delay to 500ms, clear the request queue, and contact Evernote support if limits continue after 1 hour.
