AI Root Cause Analysis Benchmark
Why we need an AI RCA benchmark
- • Every AI vendor claims their solution is "the smartest" with zero proof
- • No standardized way to validate AI effectiveness before purchase
- • Customers can't compare tools objectively - it's all marketing
- • Testing requires complex production environments most teams don't have
Proposed solution
- • Use OpenTelemetry Demo - a multi-language microservices app (Java, Python, Go, .NET, Rust, PHP, etc.)
- • Built-in failure scenarios controlled by simple feature flags
- • Every vendor gets identical test conditions - no excuses
- • Provides basic telemetry (metrics, logs, traces) with freedom for vendors to add their own data sources
- • Easy to reproduce independently during your POC process
Benefits for everyone
A standardized benchmark helps customers, vendors, and the entire observability ecosystem
Vendor Comparison
Make informed decisions by comparing different AI RCA tools on identical scenarios
Validation
Verify the effectiveness of your chosen AI solution before deploying to production
Transparency
Open methodology allows you to understand exactly how each tool performs
Reproducibility
All scenarios are based on open-source demos that anyone can run and verify
