Event-based self-healing monitoring
summary
Proposes an event-driven self‑healing layer that takes alerts from monitoring, publishes them to an SNS topic, and triggers small AWS Lambda handlers (often <~50 lines) which run CloudWatch checks, restart or recreate EC2 instances, clean disks, or invoke a CloudFormation stack to rebuild a region replica; reduces on‑call wakeups (examples show automatic recovery within ~15 minutes), logs to CloudWatch, and avoids crontabs and SMS by paying only for function runtime.
