Kubernetes already "self-heals": it restarts what crashes. Those are reflexes, not judgment. This article walks through the architecture of a self-healing ingress layer designed for payments-grade infrastructure: a decision pipeline that converts telemetry into ranked root-cause hypotheses, scores candidate remediations on risk and reversibility, executes inside hard blast-radius guardrails, verifies outcomes against pre-declared success criteria, and rolls itself back when it's wrong. The differentiator is not the automation — it's that every action ships with a human-readable decision record. In regulated environments, remediation that can't explain itself can't run in production.
