— THE PROBLEM
What Was Breaking Before I Arrived
→ Engineers were being woken up at 2 AM for alerts that resolved on their own, no filtering, no intelligence
→ When real incidents hit, diagnosis was pure guesswork. Copy-pasting logs into Slack hoping someone knew the answer
→ Critical production incidents sat unacknowledged for 3–4 hours before anyone escalated
→ Payment API failures caused cascading timeouts with no automated detection, just angry customer tickets arriving first
→ No runbooks. No post-mortems. No pattern visibility. Every incident felt like the first time
→ Escalations to leadership happened over WhatsApp, no structure, no timestamps, no accountability
— MY SOLUTION
What I Built — Step by Step
01
AI Detection Engine
Prometheus alert rules fire within 30 seconds of anomaly. SentinelAI ingests metrics, Loki logs, and historical context simultaneously, no human needed to notice something is wrong.
02
Claude AI Diagnosis
Every alert triggers a Claude-powered root cause analysis. The bot delivers a structured report: probable cause, confidence level, immediate action steps with exact kubectl commands, and escalation recommendation, in one Slack message.
03
Smart Escalation Ladder
n8n escalation monitor checks unacknowledged incidents on a schedule. After threshold, team gets reminded. After longer, manager gets pinged. After critical threshold, CTO receives a formal escalation. All automatic, all logged.
04
Auto-Remediation + Full Audit Trail
67% of incidents are resolved autonomously. Every incident generates a Jira ticket, updates a Notion runbook, and gets logged to incident history. Weekly AI-written reports land in Slack every Monday at 9 AM.

What the Client Said
★★★★★
Before SentinelAI, our on-call rotation was a nightmare. Engineers were getting paged at 3 AM for things that weren’t even real incidents. Since deployment, 67% of alerts resolve themselves before anyone wakes up. The AI diagnosis messages in Slack are so detailed that even our junior devs know exactly what to do. Bisma didn’t just build us a bot, she gave our team their nights back.
