Automated Honeycomb SLO Burn Rate Scorecard

Every Friday, WebRun opens Honeycomb, compiles the week's burn rate against every defined SLO, books a recurring SLO review slot on the calendar with this week's numbers attached, and posts the scorecard to Microsoft Teams so the team sees which services are eating into their error budget before it becomes a real problem.

In short

How do I track weekly SLO burn rate across my Honeycomb services?

WebRun compiles your week's Honeycomb SLO burn rate every Friday, service by service. It keeps a recurring SLO review slot booked on the calendar with the scorecard attached, and posts the full breakdown to Microsoft Teams, so the team sees which services are eating into their error budget before it becomes a real problem.

  • SLOs trending toward exhaustion get flagged before the budget runs out
  • The review meeting always has this week's burn rate ready
  • Error budget health is visible without querying Honeycomb directly

Questions, answered

Will it change any SLO definitions or thresholds?

No. WebRun only reports the burn rate against SLOs your team already defined. Changing a definition is always your team's call.

What happens if an SLO is close to exhausting its budget?

It gets flagged clearly in both the Teams post and the calendar event, so it doesn't get missed at the review.

Does this replace real time SLO alerting?

No. This is a weekly summary for the review meeting. Honeycomb's own real time alerts still handle immediate burn rate spikes.

Put this on autopilot.
