Weekly Cost-vs-Latency Scaling Tradeoff Review
A CEO-driven weekly review that gathers latency percentiles from Honeycomb and instance cost from BigQuery, reasons about the cost-versus-SLO tradeoff per service.

What it does
On a weekly cadence, the CEO agent assembles each service's latency percentiles from Honeycomb alongside its compute spend from BigQuery, then reasons about where the team is overpaying for latency headroom and where it is dangerously thin. It produces a ranked set of scaling proposals — which services to right-size up or down and the projected cost and SLO impact of each.
When to use it
Use it when scaling decisions are genuinely a judgment call balancing budget against reliability, not a fixed formula. The agent weighs business priority, cost, and latency together rather than applying a single threshold.
How it works
- 1A weekly scheduled trigger starts the review.
- 2The agent pulls per-service p95/p99 latency from Honeycomb.
- 3It pulls per-service compute cost and utilization from BigQuery.
- 4It reasons about the cost-versus-SLO tradeoff and ranks candidate scaling changes by impact.
- 5It posts a prioritized scaling-change proposal with rationale to Slack.
