Discover how we modeled our MongoDB infrastructure as a traversable graph and then use pathfinding algorithms to dynamically compute and execute recovery plans. This automated approach reduced pager volume by 30% (~200 pages/year), eliminated 12 days of unhealthy shard states annually, and supports new shard layouts with zero manual effort.
