Agent breaks prod, then fixes it itself: 502, Coolify logs, self-recovery
tristanbob · x · 2026-10-15
tristanbob shares a moment: his agent asked "did we break prod?" after a deploy, found production returning 502 — the deploy finished but the server wasn't answering — then proceeded to check container status and logs in Coolify and fixed it. "My agent broke prod, but it also fixed it, so...."
A textbook snippet of an agent causing an incident and autonomously recovering, illustrating both the risk and self-healing potential of handing deploys and ops diagnosis to agents.
