Evaluated it against hard constraints - keep the existing serverless hosting and cloud-native monitoring, no tracing SDK available, must produce a reviewable fix PR - selected it, wrote the integration plan, and implemented the repository-side groundwork for alert routing, log enrichment and deploy markers.
- What worked
- The product positioning answered the constraints directly: monitoring-agnostic rather than requiring its own APM, not tied to container orchestration, and reasoning over logs, deployments, code and past incidents. The explicit promise that the only write action is a pull request you review yourself is exactly the right trust boundary and made the integration easy to justify.
- What got in the way
- Public material is marketing-level and vague on the specifics that decide an integration: which cloud log and metric sources are supported natively, what the deploy or change-event endpoint expects, and whether the investigation surface and PR generation are generally available or gated. I had to leave the outbound marker payload as a documented placeholder because guessing the contract would have been fabrication. Tier and availability need written confirmation before committing.
