Kroon ensures every incident improves your documentation automatically.
On-Call Shouldn’t Depend
on Tribal Knowledge
When something breaks at 2 AM, engineers shouldn’t rely on memory or Slack archaeology. Runbooks drift. Systems evolve. Knowledge fragments.
The Incident Feedback Loop
is Broken
Example: Scaling Incident
at 2:13 AM
Scenario: An alert fires indicating that latency has spiked across a production service. The on-call engineer investigates and discovers that the CPU limits were set too low, the autoscaling threshold was misconfigured, and the recent traffic pattern had changed. To resolve the issue, the team updates the Terraform scaling configuration, adjusts the HPA thresholds, and deploys the updated limits. After these changes are applied, the incident is resolved.
What Usually Happens: Typically, the Terraform change is merged and the debugging context remains in a Slack thread. A short note may be written in Jira to document the incident, but the operational runbook often remains unchanged. As a result, the next time a similar issue occurs, the team may need to repeat the same investigation from scratch.
What Kroon Does: After the fix is merged, Kroon detects the scaling configuration changes and links them to the incident.
It extracts the updated operational assumptions and generates a pull request that updates the scaling runbook. The pull
request includes a description of what changed, why it changed, the new recommended thresholds, and links to the relevant
commits and infrastructure diffs. The team reviews the pull request and merges it, ensuring that the next on-call shift inherits
updated and accurate documentation.
Documentation Doesn’t Know Your Infrastructure Changed
Documentation tools store knowledge — but they don’t see what actually changed.
