Everyone's using AI to write more code. Traversal flips the second half of that equation: if AI is writing your code, it should be fixing it when it breaks.
At the AI Engineer World's Fair 2026, we sat down with Eric Schwartz, product manager at Traversal, to talk about building an AI site reliability engineer for the largest on-call teams in the world. We get into the data platform it takes to run this at Fortune 100 scale, where companies emit petabytes of logs a day across hundreds of indexes, and why the models alone don't get you there.
In this conversation:
• Why you can't just wire Claude to a Datadog MCP and call it an AI SRE
Root cause analysis on SEV1 incidents vs. triaging thousands of alerts a day
• Matching models and tools to incident severity to keep costs sane
• "Self-driving production": the closed-loop system that diagnoses, fixes, and opens a PR before a human reviews
• How trust gets built, from permission-gated actions to fully autonomous fixes
• SaaS vs. bring-your-own-cloud deployment for security-conscious enterprises
