## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick access to Hacker News community discussions specifically about service incidents, outages, and postmortems without scraping HN directly. Ideal for SREs, product teams, and engineers wanting curated community signal on reliability failures. Not suited for real-time monitoring or GitHub/Twitter incident discussions.

## Known failure modes

- No results found if query is too specific or niche — returns empty list
- Rate limiting or service unavailability may return an error response
