Uh, a bunch of those are automated in multiple companies. Or at least to the degree where only exceptional cases are seen by human eyes. And then those exceptional cases become more use cases to address next quarter.

I think this is where we're talking past each other. I'm saying that some companies can specialize Developers in to internal/infrastructure tooling. That then drives down the cost & impact of exactly the use cases we're talking about. Which (in theory) drives up total productivity for those applications or services that generate revenue.

Yeah, that depends. More data can wash out the signal. Or the right tool can use more samples to isolate the root cause. We're hiring https://aws.amazon.com/careers/
