Ewake in action
End-to-end reliability by agents that know your production
Investigate
Find out what's actually happening.
As soon as an alert fires or ewake catches a faulty release, it starts investigating autonomously: pulling and enriching context, reasoning across signals, and determining the root cause, impact, and recommended next steps.

Twenty-seven minutes from the CPU spike to a named cause, with the obvious explanation ruled out.

Datadog Alert
What happened: CPU on every edge machine jumped from a few percent to 100% within about a minute of a new rule going live, and stayed pinned there for the next 27 minutes.
Customer impact: Around 82% of requests across the network came back as 502s until the rule was pulled, effectively a global outage for anything sitting behind it.
Root cause: The new rule shipped with .*(?:.*=.*). Its nested quantifiers triggered catastrophic backtracking on ordinary requests, turning routine traffic into a CPU-exhausting workload on every machine that evaluated it.
Wasn't this just a DDoS? The traffic graphs looked like one.
Request volume barely moved before the spike; it's processing time per request that exploded, not the number of requests. Every crashing worker's trace names the same WAF rule ID, and disabling only that rule brings CPU back to baseline just as fast as the global kill switch did.
Resolve
Work toward the safest fix.
ewake validates its hypotheses against live production, maps the blast radius, and prepares a scoped fix within the boundaries you have set.

#291 Restore connection pool size on payment-api
ewake/revert-4821 → main · 1 file · +1 −1
Opened by ewake
services/payment-api/db.py
The pool is back at max_size=32, where it sat before #4821. I ran the hypothesis against live traffic first: replaying the last hour at the old pool size clears the waits, at the new one it does not.
Blast radius is one file and one service. Nothing else reads this pool, and the change needs no migration and no restart of anything downstream.
Detect
Catch a bad release before it becomes an incident.
ewake watches every release, catching regressions while they are still small, before they turn into customer-facing outages, so engineers don't have to watch monitors after every deploy.

Release watch
deploy #4821 · watched since Monday
From 03:10 today the error rate on checkout-api is running four times its baseline, and every failure is on the code path #4821 changed. Nothing has crossed a threshold yet, so no monitor has fired and nobody has been paged.
I compared it against the two releases either side of it: same traffic, same hosts, same hour of day. Only this one drifts. At the current rate it reaches the 2% alert threshold some time tomorrow afternoon, during peak, on the checkout path.
I have opened an investigation and I am watching it every five minutes.
Escalate
Only ping a human when one is needed.
When human judgment is required or there is customer impact, ewake wakes the on-call, with the investigation, the evidence, and the recommended action already attached.
Potential incident: review now and consider paging on-call
The fix needs a schema migration, outside what you have let me do on my own.

Datadog Alert
I can revert the config, but the revert alone leaves the orders written in the last fourteen minutes in a state the new schema does not read. Repairing them means an ALTER TABLE on orders, and migrations are on your list of things I do not run.
