Dev Builds AI On-Call Assistant That Remembers Past Incidents — 93% Accuracy With Just 10 Histories

Front_Engineering591 · reddit · 2026-11-08

A developer built Incident Responder using Python, FastAPI, pandas, Groq, and Vectorize's Hindsight as a long-term memory layer. It ranks fixes by historical success rate, recalls related incidents for context, and lets an LLM explain (not compute) recommendations. Key decisions: all statistics computed outside the LLM, plus a shrinkage step so 1/1 success doesn't outrank 8/11. On synthetic data, top-suggestion accuracy went from 20% with zero history to 93% with 10 incidents and 100% at 50. The author candidly lists limitations (synthetic data, type-only alert matching) and asks SREs for feedback on trust, memory content, and adoption.
