AI cron loop monitoring cut Java service crashes from ~1/hour to zero
DanielLockyer · x · 2026-10-03
Daniel Lockyer shares his shipping strategy: run an AI cron loop that checks monitoring, metrics, and traces every 5 minutes and recommends further tweaks after each perf fix — automating verification instead of doing it manually. In practice, he used it to deploy and monitor a fix for a Java service, cutting OOM crashes from 1 per hour to zero, while the system autoscaled instances down for cost savings.
