Real-World Examples

Knight Capital

$440M

Lost in 45 minutes due to stale feature flag. APX constraint: flag_age < 90 days would have blocked deployment.

GitLab Database

6 hours

Production outage from config drift. APX detects environment misalignments automatically.

API Timeout Drift

Common

Declared timeout: 5s, Actual: 12s. Causes cascading failures. APX catches before production.
