Learned Execution Graphs for Anomaly Detection & Drift in APIs — Ritvik Pandya, JP Morgan Chase

Ritvik Pandya from JP Morgan introduces 'learn execution graphs'—short-lived DAGs representing API request processing—to detect anomalies and drift in high-throughput systems. This approach localizes performance issues to exact nodes, identifies skipped or reordered steps, and differentiates between transient anomalies and fundamental system drift (structural, volume, or behavioral). It leverages per-client baselines and OpenTelemetry data to reduce mean time to discovery (MTTD) from hours to seconds, enhancing system reliability and observability.
