How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerVercel production deploy succeeded webhookVercelVercel
  • ActionLoad baseline sizes and build-time historyPostgreSQLPostgres
  • LogicCheck for simultaneous bundle + build-time breach
  • ActionTrigger PagerDuty incident for on-callPagerDutyPagerDuty
  • OutputPost rollback candidate and diagnostics to SlackSlack

What it does

Handles the serious case where a production build blows past both the bundle-size and build-time budgets at once, signaling a likely bad ship. It pages on-call, identifies the last known-good deploy as a rollback candidate, and assembles the diagnostics needed to decide whether to revert.

When to use it

Use it as the escalation layer above your routine gates and digests, reserved for production deploys that breach multiple budgets simultaneously. Good for teams with a real on-call rotation who want a fast, structured path from regression to rollback decision.

How it works

  1. 1A Vercel production deployment-succeeded webhook delivers the new build's metrics.
  2. 2The flow loads the baseline sizes and recent build-time history from Postgres.
  3. 3A logic step checks whether both the bundle and build-time budgets are breached; single breaches exit quietly.
  4. 4On a double breach it triggers a PagerDuty incident for the platform on-call.
  5. 5It posts a Slack incident thread with the breaching routes, build duration, and the last passing deploy as the suggested rollback target.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect VercelDeploys, runtime logs, analytics.
  2. 2
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  3. 3
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  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.
