How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerSchedule: every Monday morning
  • ActionAggregate 7-day flake stats from historyPostgreSQLPostgres
  • LogicFilter to noise floor and rank top offenders
  • OutputPost ranked digest to Slack channelSlack

What it does

Gives the team a recurring, ranked view of which tests are wasting the most CI time. Instead of one-off complaints in chat, it produces a single authoritative weekly leaderboard of flaky offenders so the worst ones actually get fixed.

When to use it

Run this when you already capture per-run test results and want sustained pressure to burn down the quarantine list. Ideal for a weekly eng sync or a dedicated reliability channel.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger fires every Monday morning.
  2. 2The flow queries the CI history table in Postgres for the past seven days, aggregating flips, total failures, and CI minutes lost per spec.
  3. 3It joins each spec to its CODEOWNERS-derived owner and any open quarantine issue.
  4. 4A logic step keeps only specs above the noise floor and sorts them into a top-N leaderboard.
  5. 5A formatted Slack message is posted to the reliability channel with rank, flake rate, owner mention, and issue link, so the worst offenders are unmissable.
