Behind the Build: How to Run Prod with Background Agents

Resolve started with on-call agents that triage every alert and run deep root-cause analysis, then scaled to full incident response. Background agents are the next step: owning the steady-state work of keeping prod healthy that usually falls through the cracks.

  • Where background work fits beyond on-call

  • How a persistent cloud agent actually works

  • The operational work agents can own

  • A live demo watching a production deploy

What you'll learn

  • Beyond triage and incident response

    Where background work fits into the steady-state toil of running prod, once on-call triage and incident response are already covered.

  • How a background agent works

    A persistent cloud lifecycle that stands by when idle, a sandboxed filesystem so nothing in flight is lost, and memory that self-compacts over time.

  • The work agents can own

    Deploy monitoring, P99 and regression investigation, recurring health checks, and the daily incident digest nobody has time to write.

  • A live demo

    A background agent watching a production deployment and stepping in only when it actually matters.
