How leading platforms ensure observability for LLM inference
Aug 24, 2026
Summary
This post details the observability stack for LLM inference, including key metrics (TTFT, TPOT, throughput, latency, KV cache hit rate), different log types (build, deploy, serve), and how traces help pinpoint performance bottlenecks in the request path. It also outlines how Baseten integrates with external observability tools.
