Revealing Data Patterns

A demonstration of how agentic visualization components automatically reveal patterns, trends, and anomalies without manual analysis. The components make the insights obvious.

Pattern Revealed: Performance Degradation

ComparativeSparklines component reveals which services are improving vs. degrading

Auth
Database
Cache
Storage

What it reveals:

  • Auth is improving (trending down = faster)
  • Database is degrading (trending up = slower)
  • Cache is stable and optimal
  • Storage is flat (no change)

Pattern Revealed: AI-Powered Service Health

MetricCard + TrendIndicator with automatic semantic understanding via Cloudflare Workers AI

What it reveals: Database response time increased +26%, indicating a problem. Auth improved -13%, cache improved -20%, storage flat.

AI Enhancement: The component uses Cloudflare Workers AI to understand that "response_time" semantically means "lower is better"—automatically inverting colors without manual configuration.

First load calls AI API. Subsequent loads use cached results. Falls back to heuristics if AI unavailable.

Pattern Revealed: Error Distribution Health

DistributionBar shows proportional breakdown of HTTP responses

99%
2xx Success 9,850 (99%)
4xx Client 120 (1%)
5xx Server 30 (0%)

What it reveals: System is healthy - 98.5% success rate, 1.2% client errors (expected), only 0.3% server errors (excellent). The visual makes this distribution immediately obvious.

The Pattern Recognition Insight

Without visualization: You would need to manually:

  • Calculate percentage changes for each service
  • Compare trends across time periods
  • Compute proportions for error distribution
  • Identify which metrics are improving vs. degrading

With agentic components: Patterns are immediately visible. The database degradation, auth improvement, and healthy error distribution are obvious at a glance. The components do the analytical work.

This is the power of encoding expert knowledge into autonomous software.
