Even with strong observability, engineers still struggle to answer two high impact questions fast: why did this deployment fail, and if I change this service or API, what breaks. This industry session presents an AI powered Microservice Cognitive Index, an intelligence layer on top of existing observability. It builds a canonical evidence graph by ingesting telemetry, deriving runtime topology from traces, clustering incident signatures from normalized logs, correlating regressions with deployments, and propagating change impact through dependency and contract signals. It combines graph based reasoning with machine learning and large language models to summarize evidence, rank likely causes, and explain blast radius with confidence. Unlike chat with logs approaches, it enforces tool grounded answers with evidence references, confidence scoring, and refusal policies when data is incomplete or confounded, making results auditable and safer for operations. ## Speaker ### [Sachin Gupta](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/@sachin-gupta) Member of Technical Staff 2 at eBay ## Related talks at this congress - [Reinventing Incident Response with AI Agents and MCP](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2026-north-america/sessions/1429-reinventing-incident) — Jayant Tyagi - [Closing the Visibility Gap: Lessons from Safety Critical Agentic Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2026-north-america/sessions/1408-closing-the) — Vivek Pandit - [AI Decision Observability: Enabling Transparency and Trust in Intelligent Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2026-north-america/sessions/1400-ai-decision) — Amjad Shaikh, Soumil Mandal - [Reinventing Testing Practices in the AI Era](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2026-north-america/sessions/1724-reinventing-testing) — Eric Deandrea ## Watch remotely Can’t make it to San José?
