Honeycomb Error-Budget Exhaustion to Deploy-Freeze Gate
When a Honeycomb SLO's remaining error budget drops below a freeze threshold, applies a deploy-freeze label to the service's GitHub repo and notifies the owning team.

What it does
Watches Honeycomb SLO budget levels and, when an SLO's remaining error budget falls under the configured freeze threshold, enforces a deploy freeze by applying a freeze label and opening a tracking issue on the service's GitHub repository. It then notifies the owning team in Slack. The outcome is an automatic, auditable deploy-freeze gate tied directly to error-budget health.
When to use it
Use this when your team practices error-budget policy — pausing risky deploys once budget runs low. It removes the manual judgment call and makes the freeze visible in the repo where engineers work.
How it works
- 1A scheduled trigger evaluates budgets periodically.
- 2The flow reads remaining error budget per SLO from Honeycomb.
- 3A logic branch selects SLOs whose remaining budget is below the freeze threshold and maps each to its GitHub repo.
- 4It applies a deploy-freeze label and opens (or updates) a freeze tracking issue on each affected repo.
- 5A Slack notice tells the owning team the freeze is active and what budget level will lift it.
