Production AI Radar
OpenTelemetry (GenAI)
Vendor-neutral tracing with GenAI semantic conventions for tokens, models, and retrieval.
AdoptObservabilityNew
- Why this ring
- Avoid vendor lock-in on observability; standard spans work across gateway, app, and vector DB.
- Production risk if ignored
- Incomplete instrumentation - traces stop at gateway, blind to RAG internals.
- Typical effort
- weeks
- Low FinOps impact
Use cases
- Unified traces
- Multi-vendor LLM visibility
- SLO dashboards
Adoption steps
- Deploy collector
- Add GenAI spans
- Connect to Tempo/Jaeger
- Define SLO alerts
