Canine just makes deploying sentry / grafana / airbyte + 15k other OS packages a one click install, which then just gives you a URL you can use. Because its running on top of kubernetes, a well built package should have healthchecks which will detect an error and auto-restart the instance.

Obviously if [name your tool] is built so that it can be bricked [1], even after a restart, then you'll have to figure it out. Hopefully most services are more robust than that. But otherwise, Kubernetes takes care of the uptime for you.

[1] This happened with a travis CI instance we were running back in the day that set a Redis lock, then crashed, and refused to restart so long as the lock was set. No amount of restarts fixed that, it required manual intervention
