Building Observability for AI-Powered Systems

The Moment Observability Became a First-Class Concern For years, observability meant dashboards, alerts, and a steady stream of logs that engineers could use to debug distributed systems. Then AI happened. Not just models running in isolation, but AI embedded deeply into products—decision engines, copilots, autonomous agents, and retrieval pipelines. Suddenly, systems stopped being deterministic. They started behaving probabilistically, evolving with data, and making decisions that were difficul
