Spot Instance Interruption Handling for production agents
Spot Instance Interruption Handling for production agents means you make agent spot instance interruption handling observable and interruptible — with a named owner, a measurable signal, and a rollback a tired on-call can run. I reach for this when you are replacing a fragile legacy implementation; that is also when shortcuts like treating agent spot instance interruption handling as a pure library problem start paging people.
This write-up is specific to agent-spot-instance-interruption-handling in a agent context, using Postgres, Redis, Temporal for the mechanics while keeping ownership human.
Incident pattern involving agent spot instance interruption handling
I treat Spot Instance Interruption Handling for production agents as an operations problem first. The goal is to make agent spot instance interruption handling observable and interruptible, not to collect frameworks.
Put a metric on the user-visible effect of agent spot instance interruption handling before you optimize internals. If you are replacing a fragile legacy implementation, you need that graph on day one.
Acceptance check: an on-call engineer can explain system state for agent spot instance interruption handling from one dashboard and one runbook page.
Slug-specific note (agent-spot-instance-interruption-handling): prioritize handling behavior under load and verify with a fixture named agent-spot-instance-interruption-handling-smoke.
Root cause in plain language
Agent loops amplify mistakes: one bad tool call can fan out across systems. For agent spot instance interruption handling, that means making failure visible early.
With Postgres, Redis, Temporal, the mechanics are straightforward; the hard part is invariants. The anti-pattern I still see is treating agent spot instance interruption handling as a pure library problem.
Acceptance check: an on-call engineer can explain system state for agent spot instance interruption handling from one dashboard and one runbook page.
Concretely, being able to make agent spot instance interruption handling observable and interruptible forces explicit choices: source of truth, timeout budgets, and which errors users see versus operators.

| Approach | Fits when | Main risk |
|---|---|---|
| Minimal | Early product, small blast radius | Hidden coupling; treating agent spot instance interruption handling as a pure library problem |
| Durable | you are replacing a fragile legacy implementation | More parts; needs a clear owner |
| Staged hybrid | Brownfield migration | Dual-running complexity |
