LLM Observability: Tracing, Logging, and Debugging Production AI Systems

TLDR: 🔍 LLM observability is radically different from traditional APM—non-deterministic outputs, variable token costs, and multi-step reasoning chains require specialized tracing. LangSmith provides native LangChain integration, OpenTelemetry offers...

Canary Deployment Pattern: Progressive Delivery Guarded by SLOs

TLDR: Canary deployment is useful only when the rollout gates are defined before the rollout starts. Sending 1% of traffic to a bad build is still a bad release if you do not know what metric forces rollback. TLDR: Canary is the practical choice when...

System Design Observability, SLOs, and Incident Response: Operating Systems You Can Trust

TLDR: Observability is how you understand system behavior from telemetry, SLOs are explicit reliability targets, and incident response is the execution model when those targets are at risk. Together, they convert operational chaos into measurable, re...

How Fluentd Works: The Unified Logging Layer

TLDR: Fluentd is an open-source data collector that decouples log sources from destinations. It ingests logs from 100+ sources (Nginx, Docker, syslog), normalizes them to JSON, applies filters and transformations, and routes them to 100+ outputs (Ela...
