Most Power Automate estates still depend on people checking failed runs and patching symptoms every weekend. This episode is for makers, architects and platform teams who want automation that observes itself and recovers safely. Learn how telemetry, decision logic and bounded self-correction turn a growing flow estate into a self-healing one.

“So the shift is this, stop treating failure as an interruption, treat it as input.” – Mirko Peters (00:32)
“And if you remember nothing else, remember this. The remediation is not the smart part. The decision is.” – Mirko Peters (04:34)

Key takeaways
- Every new Power Automate flow adds maintenance debt, so failures should be treated as input for a telemetry-driven logic layer that classifies drift and chooses a safe response.
- A lean telemetry nerve center, reusable child flows and bounded recursive loops with confidence gates, cooling periods and clear termination conditions turn retries into guided re-entry.
- Self-healing automation needs governance through risk tiers, evidence for every remediation and human approval for high-risk fixes, and heavier recursion belongs in Azure Logic Apps.
