LLM Observability in Production: OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions, Distributed Tracing, and Latency Profiling
LLM Observability in Production: OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions, Distributed Tracing, and Latency Profiling Deploying large language models into production introduces failure modes that traditional application performance monitoring (APM) tools were never designed to diagnose. Standard web services fail with discrete HTTP error codes, predictable database timeouts, or memory leaks. In contrast, LLM applications fail through silent semantic drift, hallucinated tool parameters, unbounded prom
