Proactive Ops: Event Driven IT Operations
summary
Claims that ops can catch small failures before they become incidents by turning existing hooks and audits into events and automated reactions, and demonstrates a working platform built with EventBridge + Lambda + Step Functions, webhooks from GitHub/Jira/Zendesk, and Terraform deployment. Shows a demo generator called picofun code generator that produces many tiny reusable Lambdas, and concrete automations: automatic Zendesk‑Jira linking, PR checks enforcing signed commits and ticket references, and auto‑removal of org users without emails, all running in practice.
