🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A plugin for existing monitoring platforms that uses historical baseline trends to trigger alerts on rate-of-change velocity rather than static thresholds.
  2. An open-source library that standardizes 'early warning' health checks for common infrastructure components like disk and network latency.
  3. A community-driven repository of predictive alert configurations tailored for specific cloud infrastructure architectures.
