Our anomaly detection flags every deploy and sleeps through real incidents. Where does anomaly detection actually work?

Detectors earn their keep on seasonal aggregates and fleets of similar series, run in shadow mode with measured precision. They lie on low-volume series, bursty workloads and regime changes.

Grounded in researched DevOps, SRE and platform engineering interview loops, written to a senior-engineer editorial bar, and never padded to hit a word count.
