Connecting Metrics, Traces, and Logs for AI Coding Agents in Production

Al_Grigor · x · 2026-08-14

Passing tests and deploying code doesn't guarantee an app works in production. To determine if it actually operates successfully, developers need three connected elements: a metric showing a spike in error rates, a trace identifying the failed service, and a log explaining why the failure occurred.

In the upcoming AI Dev Tools Zoomcamp Workshop 4, the author will demonstrate how to instrument a single endpoint so that metrics, traces, and logs all capture the same failed request. Furthermore, he will introduce a coding agent that collects this evidence and proposes a diagnosis autonomously, without needing direct production access.
