Abstract

In this paper, a practicum architecture and assessment of self-healing pipeline data applications with financial-grade constructs are given. We are focused on real-time anomaly deterrence, automatic rollbacks and rollback plans, and operation modes to reduce the duration of cloud-native pipeline downtimes. We quantify the possible decrease of the downtime and false interventions based on anomaly-detection standards (2024–2025) by using recent industry estimates of costs and applications in the business environment. The paper presents patterns of implementation, a reference architecture, and sample outcomes of the mean time to detect and repair improvement. This is why the given point is particularly pertinent in contemporary situations.
