Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products for diagnosing faults in stateless distributed computing platforms are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes processing a plurality of communication messages exchanged between two or more distributed components within a stateless distributed system; determining a message context for each of the plurality of communication messages based on one or more message identifiers extracted from each of the plurality of communication messages; grouping the plurality of communication messages into multiple clusters pertaining to message invocation, wherein said grouping is based on the determined message context for each of the plurality of communication messages; generating a control flow graph by creating one or more connections across the multiple clusters; and detecting a causal chain of events associated with a detected fault in the stateless distributed system by navigating the control flow graph.
