See the promise, the latest signal, the missed step, and the owner in one operating record.
Live self-checksproduction proofpublic site, API, billing webhook15-min cadence01 / Promise
Name the workflow
Pick the customer-visible outcome, owner, cadence, and runbook.
02 / Signal
Send a signal
Emit heartbeat, run lifecycle, or freshness data from the job itself.
03 / Drill
Prove the bad day
Run a deliberate miss so the incident path is trusted before production depends on it.
04 / Incident
Inspect context
Timeline, payload notes, root run, deploy SHA, owner, and runbook together.
05 / Route
Verify delivery
Check alert attempts and route readiness before assuming a human saw it.
06 / History
Keep the trail
Keep incidents, audit events, exports, and billing limits honest.
Where Luota fits
It complements the tools that already keep your app alive.
Luota is not another place to stare at graphs. It turns a missed business promise into a clear operating record: what failed, who owns it, where it routed, and what changed next.

Incident review
Every incident follows one operational story: promise, signal, exception, route, history.
The workflow spine keeps review grounded in facts: the expected run, the latest signal, the missing event, the owner path, and the record a buyer or teammate can inspect later.
Read the operator docs ->Live proof system
One product surface for monitors, incidents, routes, and history.
Monitor queue, incident packet, route delivery, and audit history stay together so the operator sees what missed, what was sent, and what changed after acknowledgement.

Inspect live status ->Self-serve setup
Prove one billing workflow in 10 minutes.
Start with the workflow that would create real customer pain if it silently stopped: billing sync, entitlements, imports, generated-output checks, or daily reports.
billing-sync.tsowner: revenue
const run = await luota.runs.start({
monitor: "billing-sync",
externalRunId: stripeEvent.id,
payload: { customerId, invoiceId }
});
try {
await syncStripeInvoices();
await luota.runs.success(run.id, {
summary: "Billing sync completed"
});
} catch (error) {
await luota.runs.failure(run.id, {
summary: "Billing sync failed",
error
});
}First failure drill
Do not trust a monitor until you have watched it fail.
Prove one workflow on a good day, then force the bad day while the route, owner, and record are still low stakes.
drill/billing-syncready to prove
01Create `billing-sync`
Set owner, cadence, route, and runbook.
02Send one healthy run
Luota records the baseline evidence.
03Miss the next run
The packet opens with the route and audit trail.
04Export the record
Use it in support, ops, or buyer review.
Expected resultOne exportable incident record before the workflow matters in production.
