Run & Operations

Make run observable and actionable: baselines, runbooks, ownership, and operational routines as reusable modules.

Platform Engineering isn’t only about “shipping”. At scale, the cost is often in operating: incidents, drift, unclear ownership, and tribal runbooks.

Argy’s goal is to make the run part productized:

  • the platform team defines standards once,
  • developers consume them by default,
  • outcomes stay observable.

What “run automation” means in Argy

Observability baselines

Instead of asking every team to reinvent dashboards and alert rules, a golden path can bundle:

  • a baseline dashboard set,
  • actionable alerting rules,
  • SLO targets and error budget signals.

This makes reliability consistent and reduces the onboarding time for new services.

Runbooks as part of the product

Runbooks are not a separate wiki page. They should be:

  • linked to the service,
  • versioned with the golden path,
  • written for the common failures.

Ownership and escalation

Operational automation only works if ownership is explicit:

  • who owns the product,
  • who owns the platform part,
  • how escalation works.

Operational routines

Examples of routines that can be standardized:

  • incident response checklist,
  • rollbacks and safe deploy patterns,
  • postmortem templates,
  • cost/FinOps baselines.

Why it matters

Run automation is not about removing humans. It’s about:

  • reducing “support debt”,
  • making systems easier to operate,
  • making governance measurable.
