The Hidden Costs of Reactive Cloud Management

Without automated event handling:

• Engineers spend 20-30% of their time checking dashboards and logs
• Incident detection averages 76 minutes vs. 4 minutes with automation
• Service disruptions often reach customers before operations teams
• Response procedures vary by responder, creating inconsistent outcomes

These inefficiencies don't just slow response—they fundamentally undermine cloud reliability while increasing operational costs and team burnout.
