DigitalOcean AI SRE incident investigation (Traversal)

L2 · Supervised Verified · Production Cloud Infrastructure IT

Traversal auto-joins incident Slack channels and investigates root cause across 9 observability systems with read-only access (reported by Traversal)

Problem

Fragmented observability data slowed triage.

Workflow

  1. Auto-trigger in incident channel
  2. Query logs/metrics/PRs
  3. Report root cause and evidence
  4. Engineers remediate

Human-in-the-loop: Read-only; engineers decide and roll back.
