The loops that ship reliable software
How engineering teams put AI agents to work across the software lifecycle — from dependency upgrades and code review to QA, incident response, and SRE runbooks.
How we QA every pull request automatically
The QA agent we run on Valkor — connected to GitHub and our test environment. It checks out each PR, runs the suite, exercises the change, and posts the result.
How we draft incident postmortems
When an incident resolves, an agent pulls the timeline from the incident channel, correlates deploys and log spikes, and drafts a structured postmortem as a doc PR for the team to review and edit.
How we generate release notes from merged PRs
The release-notes agent we run on Valkor — connected to GitHub. On each release it reads the merged PRs since the last one, groups them, writes the notes, and opens a changelog PR.
How we catch cloud cost spikes before the bill lands
The cloud-cost anomaly agent we run on Valkor — connected to AWS Cost Explorer and Slack. Every day it keeps a running spend baseline per service and account, flags whatever breaks out of that baseline, attributes the likely driver, and alerts with the delta. Read-only and alert-only; it never touches a resource or a budget.
How we groom our production error backlog
The error-triage agent we run on Valkor — connected to Sentry and GitHub. Hourly, it groups new and spiking errors, dedupes against our existing GitHub issues, and drafts an issue with the stack trace and impact for the top offenders, then alerts Slack. It never resolves, ignores, or assigns an error itself.
How we keep code review from stalling
The pull-request review agent we run on Valkor — it flags PRs stuck past a review SLA, gone stale, or sitting on unaddressed change requests, then nudges the author or reviewer in Slack with exactly what's blocking.
How we remove stale feature flags
The flag-cleanup agent we run on Valkor — a weekly sweep that finds feature flags that are fully rolled out or long dead, deletes the flag and the dead code branch it guards, and opens a PR for a human to merge.
How we triage on-call alerts before paging a human
The triage agent we run on Valkor — connected to Sentry, our logs, and GitHub. It works up a first-pass diagnosis on every alert and only pages a human when it can't resolve it.
How we detect and quarantine flaky tests
The flaky-test agent we run on Valkor — connected to GitHub CI history and Slack. It scores every test's non-determinism, opens a quarantine PR for the worst offenders, and files a tracking issue for a human to review.
How we keep dependencies up to date
The upgrade agent we run on Valkor — a weekly cron that opens dependency PRs, runs the full suite in a sandbox, and only opens the PR when it's green.
