An interesting feature has been added to the Service Hierarchy Browser (SHB). It has always been possible to click on a child service instances in the SHB to go down a level in the service hierarchy. Then the ability to reset the SHB was introduced, which essentially offered the ability to jump all the way back to the top of the service hierarchy. The new feature that has been added, allows specialists to move up a single level in the service hierarchy.
When a specialist opens a request, the SHB now presents a single left chevron ( < ) next to the service instance (SI) that is linked to the request. When the specialist clicks on it and the SI has only one parent that the specialist is allowed to see, then this parent becomes the new SI that is selected in the SHB.
The reason why this feature was not previously available is that SIs can have multiple parents. It took some time, but we believe we found an intuitive solution. In cases where there are multiple parents, the SHB simply offers up each of these parent SIs that the specialist has access to.
After selecting a parent, the specialist can either select one of its child SIs, or go up another step in the service hierarchy.
An AI SRE that knows your incidents
Most AI SREs are pattern matchers trained on public data. They know what a memory leak looks like in the abstract. They don't know that your payments-api has a flaky liveness probe everyone ignores, that the checkout team owns the retry policy, or that the last three "database incidents" were actually cache misconfigurations. That knowledge lives in your postmortems, your Slack channels, and the heads of two senior engineers.
