Cross-check Honeycomb burn against Datadog before freezing
When Honeycomb signals a fast burn, it pulls corroborating latency and error metrics from Datadog and only freezes deploys if both systems agree the service is degraded.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerHoneycomb fast-burn alert webhookHoneycomb
- ActionPull corroborating metrics from DatadogDatadog
- LogicRequire both signals to agree on degradation
- ActionApply deploy-freeze on the GitHub repoGitHub
- OutputPost side-by-side signal summary to SlackSlack
What it does
This reduces noisy freezes by requiring two independent signals. A single Honeycomb burn alert can be triggered by a brief blip; this template confirms real degradation against Datadog's latency and error-rate monitors before it ever locks the repo, so the team only stops shipping when the problem is real.
When to use it
Use it if your burn-rate alerts have been too trigger-happy and engineers have lost trust in the freeze. The cross-signal check buys precision at the cost of a few seconds of confirmation.
How it works
- 1A Honeycomb webhook fires on a fast-burn budget alert.
- 2An action queries Datadog for the same service's recent latency and error-rate monitor state.
- 3A logic step requires both Honeycomb burn AND Datadog degradation to agree before proceeding.
- 4If confirmed, an action applies the deploy-freeze label and blocking check on the GitHub repo.
- 5The output posts a Slack message showing both signals side by side so the freeze decision is auditable.
