Hey HN, I'm the sole DevOps Lead for a team of 8. We fell into the classic trap of building Grafana dashboards that just polled AWS APIs until they rate-limited us into oblivion. I wrote this about how we ripped that out and moved to an entirely data-driven OpenTofu architecture where the devs just write JSON to get event-driven alerts. Would love to hear how other solo/small ops teams are handling alert delegation without falling into the concierge trap.
