The author details why they opted for a pull-based system over an event bus for managing a fleet of autonomous agents. Key reasons include the high instrumentation tax associated with event buses, especially for third-party tools, and the unreliability of events compared to direct state observation. The author argues that observing on-disk state, process liveness, and health checks provides a more robust and self-healing monitoring solution, as it reflects reality even for components that do not actively emit events.
