AI Agents Go Wild in Production: The Observability Crisis No One Saw Coming

Dev teams figured AI agents would slot into production like any API. Wrong. Unbounded inputs and flaky LLMs turn shipped code into a guessing game, demanding entirely new monitoring tricks.

  • LLM non-determinism demands tracing full trajectories, not just endpoints.
  • New observability wave mirrors early web analytics; expect specialist tools to dominate.
