To avoid this 'busy work', we group alerts by RCA (so no duplicate PRs) and filter by severity (so no PRs for false positives or not-that-important issue). We realized early on that turning every alert into a PR just moves the problem from Sentry to GitHub, which defeats the purpose.

Is having a one-hour cron job enough to ensure the product’s health? do you receive alerts by email/slack/other for specific one or when a PR is created?

interesting. yeah the only reason it’s on cron is because the sentry-github integration didnt work for this (can’t remember why), and i didnt want to maintain another webhook.

the timing is not a huge issue though because the type of bugs being caught at this stage are rarely so critical they need to fixed in less time than that - and the bandwidth is limited by someone reviewing the PR anyway.

the other issue is crazy token wastage, which gets expensive. my gut instinct re triaging is that i want to do it myself in the prompt - but if it prevents noise before reaching claude it may be useful for some folks just for the token savings.

no, I don’t receive alerts because i’m looking at the PR/issues list all day anyway, it would just be noise.

totally get the 'token wastage' point—sending noise to an LLM is literally burning money.

but an other maybe bigger cost might be your time reviewing those 'bandaid fixes.' if you're merging only 30%, that means you're spending 70% of your review bandwidth on PRs that shouldn't exist right?

we deduplicate before the claude analysis with the alert context and after based on the rca so we ensure we have no noise in the PRs you have to review

why don't you trust an agent to triage alerts+issues?
