Playbooks that I've found value in:
- Generic application version SLI comparison. The automated version of this is automated rollbacks (Harness supports this out of the box, but you can certainly find other competitors or build your own)
- Database performance debugging
- Disaster recovery (bad db delete/update, hardware failure, region failure)
In general, playbooks are useful for either common occurences that happen frequently (ie every week we need to run a script to fix something in the app) or things that happen rarely but when they do happen need a plan (ie disaster recovery)
