Agent-Driven Slow-Query Remediation Tickets

When a query is flagged over budget, an agent correlates the Honeycomb hotspot with the Postgres plan and source location, drafts a concrete remediation.

What it does

This workflow goes beyond detection to propose a fix. When a query shape is flagged over its latency budget, an agent gathers the Honeycomb latency profile, the Postgres execution plan, and the ORM call site, then reasons about the likely cause and drafts a remediation. It files a Linear ticket containing the evidence and a specific proposed change such as an index, a rewrite, or a pagination fix.

When to use it

Use it to shrink the time between spotting a slow query and having an actionable, evidence-backed task in your tracker. Best for teams that want triage done before an engineer opens the issue.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook trigger fires when the gate flags a query over budget.
  2. 2A Honeycomb action pulls the latency profile and recent traces for the query shape.
  3. 3A Postgres action retrieves the execution plan and relevant index metadata.
  4. 4The agent correlates the evidence, identifies the bottleneck, and drafts a concrete remediation with rationale.
  5. 5A Linear action files a prioritized ticket with the plan, profile, and proposed change.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HoneycombDistributed traces and queries.
  2. 2
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  3. 3
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  4. 4
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
