This concept is being written. It gets the full five steps — explanation, predict, interview angle, practice with tests, and review cards. Here is exactly what it will cover, so you can study it elsewhere in the meantime.

What it covers

  • tracing LLM calls and tool steps (OpenTelemetry GenAI conventions
  • tools like Langfuse/LangSmith/Braintrust/Phoenix at awareness level)
  • latency/cost dashboards
  • online evals and user feedback
  • drift and model updates
