  • Topic: Dealing with Errors, Logs, and Observability in Development
  • Key Points:
    • Importance of addressing errors in codebases during local development and production.
    • Need for a self-healing, agentic system to manage and diagnose errors automatically.
    • Use of Deno due to its built-in OpenTelemetry for better error tracking.
    • Error detection through telemetry emitted by Deno, which is processed by Prometheus.
    • Real-time detection of error spikes leading to triggering an AI agent (Google’s Agent ADK) for problem-solving.
    • AI agent finds the source of an error, generates a patch, and runs test suites to ensure stability.
    • System can apply patches in production after CI checks, transforming debugging cycles from hours to seconds.
    • Infrastructure setup includes:
      • Frontend with hooks and API calls.
      • Backend with Deno handling routes and telemetry duties.
      • Potential use of a Grafana dashboard for monitoring.
    • Concept of integrating test-driven development (TDD) with self-healing workflows.
