The Era of Self-Healing Software Is Here

Better and Faster Bug Fixing?

In today’s mission-critical and fast-paced digital environment, downtime is not an option. The idea that we can develop self-healing software — systems that automatically detect and fix problems without human intervention — with the newly available AI-based tools is intriguing to say the least.

This emerging approach allows for continuous operations by automatically repairing common failures, optimizing resource usage, and ensuring reliability at scale. In this edition of the MangoChango Newsletter, we explore the principles of self-healing software, how it works, and its potential to transform IT operations by reducing manual oversight and enhancing system resilience.

Build Self-Healing Code with Generative AI on AWS

By Anthony Kawamoto

This is a very informative 25-minute video that shows how developers today can build self-healing code with generative AI. It explores a-day-in-the-life of a developer when an AI-powered pair-programmer enhances the development experience.

It follows the process from making contextual coding suggestions in real-time, to autonomously discovering and resolving issues. The video demonstrates AI-powered agents dynamically detecting errors through application logs, mapping them to the source-code and automatically producing bug fixes.

Self-Healing Code Is the Future of Software Development

By Ben Popper

LLMs (large language models) are able to improve their output through self reflection. While the field is still developing, and hallucinations remain a problem, growing research indicates that a more guided, auto-regressive approach can lead to better outcomes.

When this is applied to the world of software development and CI/CD, things get interesting. Most developers are already familiar with processes that help automate the creation of code, detection of bugs, testing of solutions, and documentation of ideas.

Developers love automating solutions to their problems, and with the rise of generative AI, the concept of self-healing software is likely to be applied to the creation, maintenance, and the improvement of code at an entirely new level.
