Enabling Multi-Dimensional Distributed Trace Comparison with Contrast
Vaastav Anand, Rodrigo Fonseca, Jonathan Mace +1
Diagnosis using distributed traces is fundamentally a comparative task: operators seek to understand how an anomalous execution differs from expected behavior, how a deployment cha…
Epistemic Observability in Language Models
Tony Mason, Vaastav Anand
We find that models report highest confidence precisely when they are fabricating. Across four model families (OLMo-3, Llama-3.1, Qwen3, Mistral), self-reported confidence inversel…
Generating representative macrobenchmark microservice systems from distributed traces with Palette
Vaastav Anand, Matheus Stolet, Jonathan Mace +1
Microservices are the dominant design for developing cloud systems today. Advancements for microservice need to be evaluated in representative systems, e.g. with matching scale, to…
Intent-based System Design and Operation
Vaastav Anand, Yichen Li, Alok Gautam Kumbhare +6
Cloud systems are the backbone of today's computing industry. Yet, these systems remain complicated to design, build, operate, and improve. All these tasks require significant manu…
The Benefit of Hindsight: Tracing Edge-Cases in Distributed Systems
Lei Zhang, Vaastav Anand, Zhiqiang Xie +2
Today's distributed tracing frameworks are ill-equipped to troubleshoot rare edge-case requests. The crux of the problem is a trade-off between specificity and overhead. On the one…
Aggregate-Driven Trace Visualizations for Performance Debugging
Vaastav Anand, Matheus Stolet, Thomas Davidson +3
Performance issues in cloud systems are hard to debug. Distributed tracing is a widely adopted approach that gives engineers visibility into cloud systems. Existing trace analysis…
