Why standard RAG failed on stack traces until using Hindsight

If you pipe raw production stack traces into a standard vector database, you quickly discover that cosine similarity has no idea what an outage actually means. Two completely unrelated Python tracebacks look 95% identical to an embedding model because they share identical runtime boilerplate, while two incidents sharing the exact same…

  • Boilerplate noise and context window limits hindered accurate incident identification.
  • New architecture with deterministic parsing, semantic memory, and LLM reasoning solved problems.
