I think we can get to the point where we have self-hosted agents that can manage db maintenance and recovery. There could be regular otel -> * -> Grafana -> ~PagerDuty -> you and TriageBot which would call specialists to gather state and orchestrate a response.

Scripts could kick off health reports and trigger operations. Upgrades and recovery runbooks would be clearly defined and integration tested.

It would empower personal sovereignty.

Someone should make this in the open. Maybe it already exists, there are a lot of interesting agentops projects.

If that worked 60% of the time and I had to figure out the rest, I’d self host that. I’d pay for 80%+.

this is basically supabase. their entire stack (and product) can be hosted as a series of something like 10+ docker containers:

however, like always, 'complexity has to live somewhere'. I doubt even Opus 4.5 could handle this. as soon as you get into database records themselves, context is going to blow up and you're going to have a bad time
