Streamwake + AWS MediaLive.
Don't replace AWS MediaLive — we correlate its signals and drive remediation.
Don't replace AWS MediaLive — we correlate its signals and drive remediation on the channel-state, input-attach, motion-graphics, and encoder-health signals it already surfaces.
AWS MediaLive aws-managed live video encoding service. Streamwake doesn't replace AWS MediaLive— we correlate its signals and drive remediation on the anomalies it already surfaces.
What AWS MediaLive owns. What Streamwake runs on top.
Honest framing of the surface the vendor owns and the surface Streamwake runs on top of it. Both layers run together in production — same signal bus, different obligations.

Postmortems
An incident closed
before your viewers notice.
Four steps from a AWS MediaLiveanomaly to a closed incident with a typed postmortem. Read top to bottom — the loop is closed end to end.
- 1
Ingest MediaLive signals
Channel state transitions + input-attach logs + motion-graphics render faults + encoder-health signals land on the Streamwake signal bus via a single REST POST (Channel State Change, Input Attach, Motion Graphics Action Failure, Encoder Profile events).
- 2
Correlate and rank
The agent joins MediaLive signals against CDN, encoder, and DRM signals on the same bus, then ranks root cause with a typed confidence score (channel_state_flip vs input_attach_fault vs motion_graphics_render_fault vs encoder_profile_overshoot).
- 3
Recommend or run a fix
The agent picks the smallest safe remediation — reroute egress, retune encoder profile, dirty-fix a motion graphic, retry the input attach — and verifies recovery before closing out.
- 4
Write the postmortem
A structured writeup — what happened, what was tried, what changed — lands in the team's inbox the moment the incident resolves.
Four failure modes AWS MediaLive alerts alone miss.
Each one is something the AWS MediaLivesignal exposes but the agent loop names and acts on — so a chart becomes a closed incident rather than a triage queue.
Channel State Transitions
A MediaLive channel flipping IDLE → STARTING → RUNNING → DEGRADED → STOPPED mid-event. CloudWatch alerts fire AFTER the channel is down; Streamwake catches the mid-transition flip and joins it against the input-attach log + the output-packager handoff to name the cause.
Input Attachment Failures
An AttachInput succeeds at channel start but the source then goes un-bindable mid-stream — frames stop flowing while the channel still reports RUNNING. CloudWatch misses it (channel is technically live); Streamwake catches the input-bind loss the same moment the player QoE drops.
Motion Graphics Faults
A media-package overlay / motion-graphics action fails mid-event — the on-air scoreboard stays blank for the affected panel while the rest of the channel rolls fine. CloudWatch surfaces a generic "action error"; Streamwake names it as a motion-graphics render fault and queues a paired dirty-fix to the template bundle.
Encoding Health
An encoder-profile regression mid-window — bitrate overshoot, GOP drift, or frame-timing slip — usually caught only on the next postmortem. Streamwake correlates the encoder-health signal against the CDN-egress dip the moment it starts and emits a switchover-window retune + scale-out before viewers flood in. (Worked example: see the /incident-library/encoder-abr-bitrate-overshoot postmortem — published primetime incident, 87%-confidence classification, autonomous retune.)

Encoder ABR bitrate overshoot across a primetime ladder switchover.
packaging.aligned_target_kbps drifted to 4,242 kbps vs 3,498 kbpsbaseline — a 21% overshoot.
The agent classified it as encoder_abr_switchover_overshoot at 87% confidence, emitted a switchover-window retune, and the egress-budget drift cleared within 9 minutes.
Direct mapping to the Streamwake encoding-health probe lane — every signal that file the encoder-abr-bitrate-overshoot hypothesis is the same signal a MediaLive encoder-health regression pushes onto the bus. The agent that closed the primetime incident is the same one that catches a MediaLive encoder regression the moment it starts.
