Observability

Learn the mental model behind tracing agent spans, logging prompts, and alerting on cost anomalies in Claude-powered applications.

Emit OpenTelemetry spans for every model call and tool invocation in a Claude agent loop, so you can see latency and failure points across a multi-step run.

Build a structured log schema that captures the prompt, response, token counts, model, latency, and request ID for every Claude API call.

A checklist for tying a spike in Claude call latency, error rate, or refusals back to your last deploy instead of treating it as a mystery.

A checklist of best practices for instrumenting Claude applications so cost and reliability issues surface early instead of at the end of a billing cycle.
