Incidents Resolve in Minutes — Not Hours
SRE teams drown in alerts because observability tools show metrics without meaning. ElixirData's Context Graph gives AI agents the causal understanding of your systems — service dependencies, ownership, change history, and runbook knowledge — so incidents resolve autonomously within governed boundaries
The Challenge
Observability Without Context Is Just Expensive Monitoring
Modern observability stacks collect massive metrics, logs, and traces, yet engineers spend 40 minutes gathering context before investigating incidents
Alerts show symptoms but lack causal understanding
Tool sprawl fragments the complete system view
Runbooks quickly drift from infrastructure reality
Investigation takes too long during critical incidents
Explore Business Context
Causal Alerts
CPU spikes or other alerts indicate what happened, but engineers must manually trace which deployment or customers were affected
Tool Sprawl
Datadog, PagerDuty, Jira, Slack, Git, and deployment pipelines scatter critical data, preventing AI agents from seeing the full system
Stale Runbooks
Documented procedures drift from reality, causing AI agents to execute outdated steps that may break systems or fail tasks
Delayed Response
Engineers spend significant time gathering context before starting investigations, slowing incident response and increasing downtime risks
How It Works
How AI Agents and Context Graph Transform SRE
The Context Graph compiles your operational landscape — services, dependencies, ownership, change history, and past incidents — into a living knowledge structure AI agents use during incidents
Context Graph for SRE
Maps every service, its dependencies, SLO/SLA obligations, deployment history, ownership, and known failure modes
Service dependency topology maps connections and relationships
Change correlation identifies recent modifications affecting services
SLO/SLA awareness informs prioritization and incident impact
Outcome: Incident precedent matching leverages past resolutions for faster response
Governed Incident Agents
Tiered authority enables autonomous response. L1 agents restart services, scale resources, toggle feature flags; L2 rolls back deployments or reroutes traffic
Tiered remediation authority ensures safe autonomous actions
Auto-scaling governed by policy and operational context
Rollback checks include blast radius and dependencies
Outcome: Contextual escalation routes complex actions to human SREs
Decision Traces for Post-Mortems
Post-incident reviews are fast — reasoning, evidence, and timelines are already recorded for continuous improvement
Automated incident timeline captures every step in real time
Root cause evidence documents contributing factors and decisions
Remediation proof shows actions taken and approvals applied
Outcome: Post-mortem generation is instantaneous for continuous learning
Capabilities
What SRE & Observability Gets With ElixirData
ElixirData provides AI-driven alert correlation, real-time service topology, autonomous remediation, and automated post-mortems to accelerate SRE response and reliability
Intelligent Alert Correlation
AI agents correlate alerts across monitoring platforms using the Context Graph. Related alerts cluster into single incidents. Duplicate noise collapses
Root cause signals surface instantly, so SREs focus on actionable incidents rather than individual alerts
Reduce alert fatigue and identify true incidents faster
Real-Time Service Topology
The Context Graph maintains a live service dependency map built from actual traffic, not static documentation
Agents trace impact paths instantly: which services, databases, and hosts are connected and affected
Understand dependencies and impact immediately during incidents
Autonomous Remediation
Pre-approved actions execute within governance boundaries. Service restarts, horizontal scaling, cache flushes, and feature flag toggles happen autonomously
All actions are traced and operate within authority limits defined by your SRE team
Resolve incidents faster while maintaining governance and auditability
Living Runbook Intelligence
The Context Graph detects when infrastructure changes invalidate runbook steps. AI agents flag stale procedures before incidents occur
Agents suggest updates based on how similar incidents were previously resolved
Keep runbooks accurate and continuously aligned with live systems
SLO-Aware Prioritization
Agents prioritize incidents based on SLO burn rate and customer impact, not just severity labels
Alerts affecting services exceeding error budgets are automatically elevated for faster resolution
Ensure reliability objectives are met and customer impact is minimized
Automated Post-Mortems
Decision Traces compile into structured post-mortems: timeline, root cause, actions taken with evidence, customer impact, and preventive recommendations
Post-incident learning is fast, accurate, and data-driven
Accelerate post-incident review and improve operational resilience

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
SRE actions follow tiered authority: L1 handles restarts and scaling, L2 manages rollbacks, L3 escalates critical infrastructure changes
Three safeguards: Policy Gates limit blast radius, Context Graph enforces change windows, and all actions are reversible and fully traced
Yes. The Context Graph ingests service catalog data and runtime signals to create a service topology combining declared architecture with actual production behavior
Every agent action generates a Decision Trace, producing structured post-mortems with timeline, root cause, remediation, impact, and preventive recommendations
