Two SQL primitives for when alert clustering gets it wrong

Short summary

PostgreSQL functions incident_split and incident_merge let on-call engineers manually correct AI-powered alert clustering mistakes in seconds with audit trails. Vector-based clustering fails systematically with false positives (unrelated alerts sharing tokens) and false negatives (similar problems with different text). Database-level implementation ensures atomicity, dual-layer security, and immutable audit logs.

• •Vector clustering has two systematic failure modes: false positives when unrelated alerts share tokens, false negatives when similar problems have different surface text
• •incident_split and incident_merge functions enable human override of AI clustering decisions in ~5 seconds with complete audit trails
• •Database-level implementation ensures atomicity, defense-in-depth security checks, and immutable audit logs for compliance and transparency
