Agent Deployment & Observability
About the track
Agents fail in production in ways traditional monitoring can’t see. This session is For platform, SRE, ML, and AI engineers who own LLM-powered features in production
We’ll cover;
- Output quality as its own signal layer — catching silent drift that your dashboards miss.
- Controlled, auditable execution: scoped credentials, bound approvals, reconstructable audit trails
- Serving performance as a product requirement: footprint, tail latency, edge deployment
- AgentOps at enterprise scale: operating fleets of agents in a regulated org
Attendees will learn about many live systems: the incidents, the bills, and the redesigns. Sessions will help provide an instrumentation and control checklist to run against your own production agents.
