ChronicleOps is an autonomous cloud chaos engineering, real-time observability, and self-healing platform built natively on Zerops.
Instead of manually troubleshooting downtime, ChronicleOps lets developers spin up target application stacks, inject controlled fault vectors (such as process kills or container crashes), observe real-time telemetry degradation, and let the system automatically recover services while generating Gemini AI root-cause diagnoses.
ChronicleOps is structured as a multi-service architecture running directly on Zerops infrastructure:
| Component | Stack | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Orchestrator | ||
| FastAPI (Python 3.11), Uvicorn | Primary API gateway, environment lifecycle orchestrator, and Gemini AI diagnosis engine. | |
| Worker | ||
Python 3.11, Zerops CLI (zcli ) |
||
| Background polling daemon that monitors target health, triggers recovery restarts, and runs TTL resource pruning. | ||
| Ingestion Engine | ||
| FastAPI, Pub/Sub | Log collector and real-time event pipeline for telemetry streams. | |
| Database & Cache | ||
| PostgreSQL, Valkey | Vector store for historical incident embeddings and real-time state synchronization. | |
| Frontend UI | ||
| HTML5, Modern CSS3, Canvas, Vanilla JS | Zero-dependency Command Center featuring CRT scanline aesthetic, real-time Canvas telemetry charts, and interactive controls. |

Key Features
1-Click Demo Quickstart: Instantly provisions an isolated application stack on Zerops using a demo repository without local configuration.
Controlled Chaos Injection: Injects process termination signals (SIGKILL / 502 Bad Gateway) into active containers to test fault tolerance.
Real-time Canvas Telemetry: Tracks 1.0s RTC uptime signals with visual telemetry drop and step-up curves.
Autonomous Self-Healing & MTTR: Detects service outages in real time, executes automated restarts via zcli, and calculates exact Mean Time to Recovery metrics.
Gemini AI Root-Cause Diagnosis: Correlates log tails against historical incident vector embeddings stored in PostgreSQL/Valkey to generate root-cause reports, confidence scores, and recommended fixes.
TTL Environment Pruning: Automatically cleans up expired demo environments and Zerops project resources to keep platform quotas clean.
How Zerops Powers ChronicleOps
ChronicleOps relies on Zerops for its deployment pipeline and multi-service orchestrations:
YAML
zerops:
- setup: orchestrator
build:
base: python@3.11
buildCommands:
- pip install -r orchestrator/requirements.txt
deployFiles:
- ./orchestrator
run:
base: python@3.11
ports:
- port: 8080
httpSupport: true
start: uvicorn orchestrator.app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
