# What will AGI do for Downstream SLA Violations?

## Overview

Data engineering teams and platform operators commit to Service Level Agreements for data delivery, model serving, and API availability. When upstream schemas change, third-party APIs degrade, or ingestion pipelines stall, these teams fail to meet their downstream commitments. The failure is rarely caught at the source but instead surfaces when business dashboards break, automated algorithms use stale inputs, or customer-facing applications time out.

Standard monitoring tools track infrastructure metrics like compute utilization or pipeline execution status, but they lack awareness of data freshness, semantic validity, or schema integrity. Operators rely on retroactive alerting, meaning they investigate only after an SLA violation occurs and a downstream consumer files a ticket. Identifying the root cause requires manually tracing data lineage backward across multiple fragmented systems, from warehouses to transformation layers to raw ingestion tools.

Existing observability platforms treat data pipelines as simple software applications, ignoring the stateful dependencies of data transformations. Building custom circuit breakers requires writing bespoke validation tests for every table and pipeline step, creating a maintenance burden that outpaces engineering capacity. As data architectures multiply in complexity, the gap between upstream code changes and downstream SLA failures traps data teams in a constant cycle of incident response.
