Most LLM telemetry posts brag about what they monitor. Here's mine — including what I'm still missing.
Built this for lokerdollar.com, solo, in production:
Covered:
— p50 / p95 / p99 latency per task
— cost per 1k tokens + daily burn + per-task spend
— provider success rates + circuit breaker state
— cache hit rate, quota / rate limit tracking
— model leaderboard scored on live traffic
Gaps I'm still chasing:
— prompt versioning tied to quality signals
— TTFT for streaming UX (matters for chat tasks)
— per-user cost attribution
— semantic error taxonomy, not just HTTP codes
— push-based degradation alerts (today's playbook is reactive)
The lesson from running this solo: observability is never "done." It's a backlog that evolves with the product — and the gap list is more honest signal than the green checkmarks.
→ Open for AI platform / full-stack work. If you want this layer for your team, my DMs are open.
