Observability

A hands-on TypeScript tutorial for making an autonomous, tool-using AI agent observable. You build a small, dependency-light agent loop and wrap it in OpenTelemetry traces — a root span per invocation, child spans for every model call and every MCP tool call, using the gen_ai.* and MCP semantic conventions — then prove the span tree with deterministic, in-memory tests. Runs offline with zero API keys.

Enterprise AI agent deployments are hitting a brutal infrastructure wall in 2026. Kubernetes wasn't designed for stateful LLM reasoning, observability tools can't trace multi-step agent chains, and your monitoring stack will collapse under agentic workloads. Here's what's actually breaking and how to fix it before your production launch becomes a postmortem.

Complete guide to building production-ready AI agents with comprehensive observability, cost tracking, and performance metrics. Avoid the 95% failure rate with proper monitoring architecture.

Step-by-step guide to building a production-ready agentic AI system with tool calling, error handling, rate limiting, and observability. Includes complete working code and GitHub repository with TypeScript implementation using Claude API.

Explore comprehensive strategies for building self-healing systems that automatically detect, diagnose, and recover from failures, covering architecture patterns, AI integration, and real-world implementation approaches for modern distributed systems.

Site Reliability Engineering has evolved from Google's internal practice to the industry standard for operating distributed systems. But most organizations implement SRE wrong — cargo-culting error budgets without the cultural changes that make them work. A practical guide to SRE principles that actually improve reliability in microservice architectures, with real incident response frameworks and observability patterns.
