What it does

Gives the team a recurring read on error-budget health and turns the worst offenders into tracked work. Weekly, it gathers burn rate and remaining budget for each tracked Honeycomb SLO, ranks them, posts a digest to Slack, and files a Linear issue for every service that finished the week over its budget so reliability debt does not get forgotten.

When to use it

Use it to run a lightweight weekly reliability review without anyone assembling the numbers by hand, and to ensure over-budget services automatically get a ticket and an owner. Best for teams running multiple Honeycomb SLOs and managing work in Linear.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule triggers the report.
  2. 2The flow queries each tracked Honeycomb SLO for burn rate and budget remaining.
  3. 3A logic step ranks services and flags any that ended over budget.
  4. 4Linear opens a follow-up issue for each over-budget service with the figures.
  5. 5Slack receives the ranked digest with links to the new Linear issues.
