We all have been told stories since our childhood. Work hard and successfully follow. But what if what if that story has failed.You must have seen this mantra printed everywhere being poster and these mantras are even whispered in your ears when you fail. But what if these failed. Every generation before us used to believe more hours leads to more hustle leads to more success.But today I know hundreds of people who put in more than 100 hours a week and yet feel broke, yet feel empty, yet feel worthless.

Production software keeps breaking and it will only get worse — Anish Agarwal, Traversal.ai
AI Engineer· 2025-07-10 16:29
Problem Statement - The current software engineering workflow is inefficient, with too much time spent on troubleshooting production incidents [2][9] - Existing approaches to automated troubleshooting, such as AIOps and LLMs, have fundamental limitations [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] - Troubleshooting is becoming increasingly complex due to AI-generated code and increasingly complex systems [3][4] Solution: Traversal's Approach - Traversal combines causal machine learning (statistics), reasoning models (semantics), and a novel agentic control flow (swarms of agents) for autonomous troubleshooting [19][20][21][22][23][24] - Causal machine learning helps identify cause-and-effect relationships in data, addressing the issue of correlated failures [20][21] - Reasoning models provide semantic understanding of logs, metrics, and code [22] - Swarms of agents enable exhaustive search through telemetry data in an efficient way [23][24] Results and Impact - Traversal has achieved a 40% reduction in mean time to resolution (MTTR) for Digital Ocean, a cloud provider serving hundreds of thousands of customers [32][37] - Traversal AI orchestrates a swarm of expert AIs to sift through petabytes of observability data in parallel, providing users with the root cause of incidents within five minutes [39][40] - Traversal integrates with various observability tools, processing trillions of logs [45] Future Applications - The principles of exhaustive search and swarms of agents can be applied to other domains such as network observability and cybersecurity [47]
