[PagerDuty](/FluidifyAI/Regen/blob/main/docs/migrations/pagerduty.md)— schedules, escalation policies, EU region supported[Grafana OnCall](/FluidifyAI/Regen/blob/main/docs/migrations/grafana-oncall.md)— drop-in replacement for the archived OSS project

**Quickest start — Docker Compose:**

```
git clone https://github.com/FluidifyAI/Regen.git
cd Regen
cp .env.example .env   # add your Slack token, AI key, etc.
make start
```

Open ** http://localhost:8080** — create your admin account on first load.

| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| Webhook ingestion p99 | < 10 ms (target: < 200 ms) |
| Webhook sustained p50 / p95 | 1.55 ms / 2.82 ms |
| API reads p95 (list / detail) | 4.42 ms / 2.83 ms |
| Peak throughput (burst test) | 3,917 RPS — 0 × 5xx |
| PostgreSQL failover RTO | 11 s (Patroni + HAProxy, target: < 60 s) |
| Redis failover RTO | 5 s (Sentinel 3-node quorum) |
| In-flight requests lost on rolling deploy | 0 |

Production numbers will be higher — these were captured on a single-machine local HA stack. Reproduce yourself:

`make load-test`

and`make chaos-db`

. Full methodology in[docs/RELIABILITY.md].

**Zero-downtime deploys**— rolling restarts drain in-flight requests before pod shutdown (SIGTERM → 30 s drain → exit)** PostgreSQL HA**— Patroni manages automatic primary election; HAProxy re-routes to the new primary within one health-check interval (3 s). No app restart, no config change.**Redis Sentinel**— 3-node quorum detects primary loss; workers reconnect to new master automatically** Kubernetes-native**— HPA, health-gated rolling deploys, resource limits out of the box** Webhook flood protection**— rate limiter returns 429 before the DB sees load spikes; validated at 3,917 RPS with zero OOM events** Full observability**—`/metrics`

(Prometheus) + pre-built Grafana dashboard in`deploy/grafana/`

```
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/webhooks/prometheus \

An incident is created automatically. If Slack is configured, a dedicated channel appears within seconds.

Connecting Slack:Regen uses Slack's HTTP Events API (signed`POST`

to`/api/v1/slack/{events,interactions,commands}`

) — not Socket Mode. Local dev needs a public tunnel (ngrok). Full setup, including the three Request URLs and troubleshooting, is in[docs/getting-started/connecting-slack.md].

**Authentication**: bcrypt (cost 12), timing-safe comparison, 5-attempt account lockout, HTTP-only SameSite=Strict session cookies** No SQL injection surface**: All database access uses GORM parameterized queries — no raw string interpolation** Webhook verification**: Slack (HMAC-SHA256 + replay protection), Teams (RSA/OIDC), CloudWatch (RSA + SSRF-safe cert validation)** Rate limiting**: Redis Lua script enforcing three tiers — 10/min on auth endpoints, 120/min unauthenticated, 600/min authenticated** Security headers**: CSP, HSTS (2 years), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Permissions-Policy on every response** Container hardening**: non-root UID 1001, read-only filesystem, all Linux capabilities dropped** CORS**: explicit allowlist via`CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`

; dev-only fallback to localhost**Frontend**: no`dangerouslySetInnerHTML`

, no secrets in bundle, session token never accessible to JavaScript

Review the ** Production Security Checklist** — TLS, PostgreSQL password, Redis auth, and CORS origins for prerequisiste checklist.
