Observability for LLM Systems: Metrics, Traces, Logs, and Testing in Production

Observability for LLM Systems: Metrics, Traces, Logs, and Testing in Production

End-to-end observability strategy for LLM inference and LLM applications

LLM systems fail in ways that traditional API monitoring cannot surface — queues fill silently, GPU memory saturates long before CPU looks busy, and latency blows up at the batching layer rather than the application layer. This guide covers an end-to-end observability strategy for LLM inference and LLM applications: what to measure, how to instrument it with Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Grafana, and how to deploy the telemetry pipeline at scale.

Modern Linux display servers compared

The Linux display server landscape has been evolving dramatically over the past decade. Wayland, which started as an ambitious project to replace the aging X11 (X Window System), has now become the default on major Linux distributions.
