Datadog Anomaly to Proposed Rollback (Approval-Gated)

On a Datadog error-rate or latency alert, an agent correlates the spike to the most recent deploy and proposes a rollback.

What it does

When a Datadog monitor trips on elevated errors or latency, the agent cross-references recent deployments to identify the likely culprit release. It assembles a rollback proposal naming the suspect commit, the regression evidence, and the exact revert it would perform, then waits for human sign-off before touching production.

When to use it

Ideal for teams that deploy frequently and want a fast "is this the deploy?" answer during an incident, without granting automation the authority to roll back on its own. The operator gets a one-click decision instead of a cold-start investigation.

How it works

  1. 1A Datadog monitor alert triggers the flow with the metric, service, and timestamp.
  2. 2The agent queries GitHub for deploys and merges in the window before the spike.
  3. 3A logic step decides whether a single recent deploy correlates strongly enough to suspect.
  4. 4The agent drafts a rollback proposal with the suspect commit and evidence.
  5. 5The proposal is posted to Slack with an Approve button.
  6. 6On approval, a Vercel action triggers the revert and reports the new deployment status.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  2. 2
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Connect VercelDeploys, runtime logs, analytics.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
