Resilience
FDAI keeps your workloads recoverable and proves it on a schedule, not during an outage. It rehearses disaster recovery, exercises databases against their recovery targets, runs chaos experiments inside a bounded impact scope, and heals the failure patterns it has seen before. The first time a recovery path runs is never the real incident.
What you get
Section titled “What you get”- Scheduled DR drills. Disaster-recovery rehearsals run inside a defined exercise window rather than ad hoc, and they record their outcome.
- Recovery-target verification. Database exercises restore against your target RPO and RTO and flag gaps, such as a point-in-time-restore gap, before they matter.
- Bounded chaos experiments. Failure is injected inside a strict impact scope limit, so an experiment can never go beyond its declared scope.
- Self-healing for known patterns. A failure that matches a resolved incident is fixed automatically. The novel minority comes to you.
How agents deliver resilience
Section titled “How agents deliver resilience”Huginn normalizes signals; Heimdall detects gaps and independently verifies outcomes; Loki proposes bounded experiments; Forseti judges; Odin arbitrates cross-objective conflicts; Var owns required human approval; Thor executes; Vidar controls rollback and recovery; Saga records the immutable trace. Norns may propose an inert learning candidate after closure, but cannot change policy.
How FDAI proves recovery
Section titled “How FDAI proves recovery”- Find the gap. A scheduled job detects a resilience gap, such as a point-in-time-restore gap on a critical database, and raises a detected issue.
- Schedule the drill. An agent schedules a paired restore drill inside the defined exercise window. It never runs unbounded against live traffic.
- Run inside the impact scope. The exercise runs under its scope, batch, and rate caps, the same safety controls every autonomous action carries.
- Verify against targets. FDAI checks the restore against the target RPO and RTO, and records both success and failure.
- Audit the proof. The outcome enters the append-only audit log as evidence that the recovery path works.
Proof, not promises
Section titled “Proof, not promises”Resilience is measured against a baseline, never asserted (see goals and metrics):
- MTTR, the mean time to resolve, is a target to shorten. FDAI reports the median and p90 alongside the mean.
- Auto-resolution rate, meaning events resolved with no human touchpoints and no rollback, is a target to raise.
- Rollback rate and false-negative rate are guard metrics. Neither should get worse than its baseline threshold.
Every drill and every self-heal ships in observation mode first, and it is promoted only after its measured accuracy holds up.
