- LLM Cost & Latency Observability with OpenTelemetryImplement LLM cost and latency observability with OpenTelemetry: token accounting, versioned price estimates, streaming timing, and request metrics.
- Online Evaluation: Closing the Eval-Prod GapOffline eval scores are green and production is worse. The gap is structural, not measurement error, and online evaluation is how you instrument it.
- Embedding and Vector Store Observability for RAGRAG systems fail at the embedding and index layer long before the LLM does. What to monitor: embedding drift, index staleness, and recall decay.
- End-to-End Tracing for LLM Apps: Span Design GuideImplement end-to-end tracing for LLM applications with request spans, context propagation, retrieval evidence, and sampling checks for incident analysis.
monitoring 4 posts
- ML Model Monitoring Dashboard: What to Put on ItA panel-by-panel spec for an ML model monitoring dashboard: the metric, the source, the threshold, and the action each panel is supposed to trigger.
- Model Drift Detection: Catching Performance Decay EarlyModel drift is decay in what a model gets right, not just movement in its inputs. This guide explains the signals that expose it before labels arrive.
- How to Monitor LLMs in Production: Metrics and AlertsA practitioner's guide to monitoring LLMs in production: TTFT, token throughput, output quality drift, hallucination signals, alerting, and canary deploys.
- Alerting for ML Model Drift: A Practical SetupDrift alerting either never fires or fires until everyone mutes it. A three-tier setup for model drift alerts that trigger on performance loss, not noise.
fundamentals 2 posts
- ML Observability: Architecture and SignalsLearn what ML observability means, the four production layers to instrument, the three signal families, and a practical build order for ML systems.
- ML Observability vs Monitoring: What Actually DiffersCompare ML observability vs monitoring through alerts, request records, and incident questions. See which evidence each needs and how they work together.
tooling 2 posts
- W&B vs MLflow vs Comet: Experiment Tracking (2026)Compare W&B, MLflow, and Comet for experiment tracking: run comparison, artifacts, hosting, and linking training results to production dashboards.
- The Open-Source ML Observability Stack: Evidently to PhoenixHow Evidently, NannyML, and Phoenix fit an open-source ML observability stack: what each was built for, where they overlap, and how to compose them.
