Your monitoring detects an issue. Your team responds. Engineers fix it. Then what?
In most teams: silence. The issue is resolved, and the team moves on. Nobody captures learnings. Nobody identifies the root cause. Nobody prevents the same issue from happening again.
This is an open loop. You're reactive, not proactive.
Closed-loop engineering intelligence connects detection to learning. Every incident becomes a data point. Every resolution becomes a lesson.
How It Works
- Detection. Monitoring identifies an issue (latency spike, error rate increase, etc.)
- Understanding. Codebase intelligence identifies which code caused it
- Resolution. Engineers fix it
- Verification. Monitoring confirms the fix worked
- Learning. System captures insights to prevent recurrence
With Glue, this loop tightens:
- Detect an issue → Glue tells you which code is responsible
- You fix it → Faster resolution because you understand the impact
- You verify it → Monitoring confirms
- You learn → Glue identifies similar risky patterns across your codebase
The Value
Fewer recurring incidents. Faster resolution time. Better preventative practices.
Most teams have incident fatigue. Same issues keep happening. You get good at firefighting. You're not good at preventing.
Closed-loop intelligence breaks that cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does this prevent incidents?
By identifying risky code patterns before they cause incidents. High complexity, low test coverage, deprecated libraries. These are incident waiting to happen.
