How to sleep better at night and survive on-call with Robusta Automations
summary
robusta.dev presents a Kubernetes native automation engine that turns alerts into workflows with triggers actions and sinks and ships ~70 built‑in actions. a Prometheus alert for a crashing pod automatically runs a prometheus alert -> logs enricher to fetch pod logs, can auto‑grab JVM or Python memory dumps, and posts results to Slack with rate limits (one notification per 60 minutes per failing deployment). workflows are authored as YAML and custom actions are simple Python functions calling the kubernetes api.
