I Built a DevOps Tool That Thinks: Adding "Eyes" and a "Brain" to SwiftDeploy

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
SwiftDeploy was upgraded into a policy-driven DevOps CLI that generates deployment configs from a manifest.
It exposes Prometheus metrics and uses OPA sidecars with Rego rules to enforce infrastructure and canary safeguards.
Promotion is blocked when health checks fail or latency thresholds, including P99, are violated.
The approach shows how observability and policy as code can automate safer releases and reduce manual checks.
