The Remediation Process

Autonoma's remediation engine transforms predictions into safe, validated fixes. Every remediation goes through multiple safety checks and can be instantly rolled back if any issues are detected.

1

Fix Generation

Based on the prediction, Autonoma generates one or more potential fixes using AI models trained on your codebase and industry best practices.

// Example: Memory leak fix generation
{
  "issue": "Event listener not removed on unmount",
  "fixes": [
    {
      "confidence": 0.98,
      "type": "add_cleanup",
      "description": "Add componentWillUnmount cleanup",
      "patch": {
        "file": "UserProfile.js",
        "line": 45,
        "operation": "insert",
        "code": "componentWillUnmount() {\n  window.removeEventListener('resize', this.handleResize);\n}"
      }
    },
    {
      "confidence": 0.85,
      "type": "use_hook",
      "description": "Convert to useEffect with cleanup",
      "patch": {
        "file": "UserProfile.js",
        "operation": "replace",
        "from": "componentDidMount",
        "to": "useEffect with cleanup"
      }
    }
  ]
}
2

Multi-Stage Validation

Every fix goes through comprehensive validation before being applied:

Static Analysis

Syntax validation, type checking, linting, security scanning

Test Execution

Unit tests, integration tests, regression tests, smoke tests

Impact Analysis

Dependency check, performance impact, side effect detection

Simulation

Dry-run in sandbox, behavior verification, rollback testing

3

Safe Application

Fixes are applied with comprehensive safety measures:

Atomic Operations

All changes are atomic - either fully applied or fully rolled back

Version Control Integration

Changes committed with detailed messages and rollback references

Real-time Monitoring

Continuous monitoring during and after application

4

Post-Fix Verification

After application, Autonoma verifies the fix resolved the issue without side effects:

Types of Remediations

Code Fixes

Direct code modifications to fix bugs and issues:

  • •Memory leak cleanup
  • •Null reference protection
  • •Race condition resolution
  • •Security vulnerability patches
  • •Performance optimizations

Configuration Adjustments

Optimize settings and configurations:

  • •Database connection pools
  • •Cache settings
  • •Rate limits
  • •Resource allocations
  • •Timeout values

Infrastructure Scaling

Automatic infrastructure adjustments:

  • •Auto-scaling triggers
  • •Load balancer updates
  • •CDN cache invalidation
  • •Database index creation
  • •Container resource limits

Dependency Management

Safe dependency updates and patches:

  • •Security patches
  • •Bug fix updates
  • •Compatibility fixes
  • •License compliance
  • •Version pinning

Safety Mechanisms

Instant Rollback System

Every change can be instantly rolled back if issues are detected:

// Rollback triggers
{
  "automatic_triggers": {
    "error_rate_increase": "&gt; 1%",
    "response_time_degradation": "&gt; 50%",
    "memory_spike": "&gt; 20%",
    "cpu_spike": "&gt; 30%",
    "failed_health_checks": "&gt; 2"
  },
  "rollback_time": "&lt; 1 second",
  "data_preservation": true,
  "notification": "immediate"
}

Gradual Rollout

Critical fixes can be rolled out gradually to minimize risk:

Stage 1: Canary (1%)✓ Passed
Stage 2: Early Adopters (10%)✓ Passed
Stage 3: Half Traffic (50%)→ In Progress
Stage 4: Full Rollout (100%)Pending

Circuit Breaker Pattern

Prevents cascading failures by stopping remediations when issues are detected:

Closed

Normal operation

Open

Fixes paused

Half-Open

Testing recovery

Real-World Remediation Examples

Database Connection Pool Exhaustion

Problem Detected

Connection pool will be exhausted in 45 minutes at current rate

Automatic Fix Applied

Increased pool size from 50 to 100, optimized connection timeout

Code Changes

// config/database.yml
 production:
   adapter: postgresql
   pool: <%= ENV.fetch("DB_POOL") { 5 } %>
-  timeout: 5000
+  pool: <%= ENV.fetch("DB_POOL") { 100 } %>
+  timeout: 3000
+  idle_timeout: 600
+  checkout_timeout: 5

Memory Leak in React Component

Problem Detected

Memory usage increasing 50MB/hour due to event listener leak

Automatic Fix Applied

Added cleanup function to remove event listeners on unmount

Code Changes

// components/Dashboard.jsx
 useEffect(() => {
   const handleScroll = () => setScrollY(window.scrollY);
   window.addEventListener('scroll', handleScroll);
   
+  return () => {
+    window.removeEventListener('scroll', handleScroll);
+  };
 }, []);

SQL Injection Vulnerability

Problem Detected

Unsanitized user input in SQL query construction

Automatic Fix Applied

Converted to parameterized query with input validation

Code Changes

// api/users.py
 def search_users(name):
-    query = f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE name LIKE '%{name}%'"
-    return db.execute(query)
+    query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE name LIKE ?"
+    return db.execute(query, [f"%{name}%"])
