Build a Service Incident Response Agent
Build an agent that combines alerts, metrics, logs, and deployment history into an incident timeline. Recommend a recovery plan, request approval, and verify recovery in a local service simulator.
What you are building
The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.
An on-call engineer investigating service degradation.
Build an agent that combines alerts, metrics, logs, and deployment history into an incident timeline. Recommend a recovery plan, request approval, and verify recovery in a local service simulator.
Alert feed
Metrics and log records
Deployment history and runbook
Group related alerts into an incident.
Build a timeline and compare plausible causes.
Present a runbook action for approval.
Execute the approved action in the simulator and check recovery.
An incident console with evidence links, an approval button, recovery charts, and a downloadable incident report.
Explain the deployment-linked incident, request rollback approval, simulate recovery, and produce a cited timeline.
A working local application with the specified review interface.
Source code, dependency lockfile, and setup commands.
A recorded end-to-end demo using the supplied starter data.
Example outputs, action logs, and automated tests.
These fictional records are a small development fixture, not a production dataset. Implement the mock services described in the brief.
```json { "request": "Investigate checkout latency.", "deployments": [ { "id": "D1", "service": "checkout", "minute": 5 } ], "metrics": [ { "minute": 4, "latency_ms": 120 }, { "minute": 6, "latency_ms": 900 } ], "logs": [ { "id": "L1", "minute": 6, "text": "New checkout release exhausts its connection pool." } ], "runbook": { "action": "rollback_D1", "requires_approval": true, "recovery_limit_ms": 200 }, "simulator_after_rollback_ms": [ 150, 140, 130 ] } ```
Use mock service controls. Do not connect production cluster credentials. Choose an available model that supports your implementation. Record its identifier and version.
Review the complete application, not only the starter-case answers.
The timeline references D1 and L1.
No rollback occurs before approval.
Recovery is reported only after all three supplied recovery readings pass. Add one normal case, one incomplete-input case, and one failure-recovery case.
Participation guide
Use mock service controls. Do not connect production cluster credentials.
How work is evaluated
Review workflow completion, interface usability, evidence quality, and safe failure handling. No agent execution has been verified.
A working local application with the specified review interface. Source code, dependency lockfile, and setup commands. A recorded end-to-end demo using the supplied starter data. Example outputs, action logs, and automated tests.
Challenge datasets
Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.
What you should walk away with
Group related alerts into an incident.
Build a timeline and compare plausible causes.
Present a runbook action for approval.
Execute the approved action in the simulator and check recovery.
Reference links and supporting material
Supplied fictional starter records: Alert feed, Metrics and log records, Deployment history and runbook. The overview includes the complete JSON bundle. Implement local mock services and extend the sample coverage.
