Infrnce: An Intelligent Classification Engine for Infrastructure Logs

Infrnce is a full-stack application designed to demonstrate a professional, high-performance log classification engine. It automates the analysis of infrastructure logs by intelligently routing them through a hybrid pipeline, optimizing for speed, accuracy, and cost.

This repository contains the complete project, including the backend API, the frontend client, and the foundational data science research.

Project Overview

The Infrnce engine solves a common problem in infrastructure management: the overwhelming volume of log data. By automatically classifying logs, it helps engineering teams accelerate incident response, reduce manual triage time, and gain clear insights into system behavior.

This project is presented as a professional-grade software product, complete with:

• An interactive Engine for real-time classification with visual pipeline journey
• A Dashboard showcasing performance metrics, cost analysis, and architectural details
• A REST API providing programmatic access to classification capabilities

Core Components

The project is structured into three main directories:

1. backend/: A FastAPI service that exposes the classification pipeline via a REST API
   → Backend Documentation

2. frontend/: A Next.js application that provides a clean, professional user interface for interacting with the engine
   → Frontend Documentation

3. log_classification_system/: The original data science notebooks, models, and data that form the foundation of the engine's logic
   → Research Documentation

How It Works: The Hybrid Pipeline

The engine's core is a multi-stage pipeline designed for efficiency:

1. Regex Engine: Instantly handles high-volume, simple logs with pattern matching (42% coverage)
2. BERT Model: A fine-tuned transformer model provides accurate semantic analysis for common but complex logs (26% coverage)
3. LLM Fallback: A powerful Large Language Model handles rare, novel, or low-confidence logs, ensuring high coverage (21% coverage)

This intelligent routing minimizes reliance on expensive LLM calls, making the system both powerful and cost-effective.

Pipeline Benefits

• High Coverage: 92.7% of logs successfully classified
• Fast Processing: ~260 logs/second average throughput
• Cost Efficient: 89% reduction in expensive API calls through smart routing
• Accurate Results: 94.3% overall classification accuracy

Technology Stack

Backend

• Python: FastAPI, PyTorch, Transformers, LangChain
• Models: Fine-tuned DistilBERT, LLaMA 3.1 via Groq API
• Data Processing: Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn

Frontend

• JavaScript: Next.js 15, React, shadcn/ui
• Styling: Tailwind CSS with professional teal theme
• Icons: Lucide React for consistent iconography

Infrastructure

• Development: Local development with hot reload
• Deployment: Vercel (Frontend), Cloud hosting (Backend)
• API: RESTful endpoints with comprehensive error handling

Getting Started

To run the full application locally, you will need to start both the backend and frontend servers.

Prerequisites: Python 3.8+, Node.js, pip, npm

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kxshrx/infrnce.git
   cd infrnce

2. Start the Backend Server:

   cd backend
   python -m venv ../logenv
   source ../logenv/bin/activate  # macOS/Linux
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   python main.py

   The API will run on http://127.0.0.1:8000

3. Start the Frontend Server:

   cd frontend
   npm install
   npm run dev

   The application will run on http://localhost:3000

Once both servers are running, you can access the Infrnce application in your browser.
