Observability is usually an afterthought in agentic frameworks, but it's the only way to debug non-deterministic state transitions. If this gateway sits between the agent and the LLM, I'm primarily concerned with the added latency per request. Even 50ms of overhead can degrade the UX when an agent is in a multi-step orchestration loop. Pragmatically, how do you handle the trade-off between real-time logging and the execution speed of the agent? Most engineering teams would sacrifice some observability for lower latency in high-frequency loops.
The logging actually happens asynchronously and honestly, we have a lot of edge locations where we run. Literally reducing the latency to the minimum less than 35 ms. It’s actually not a huge problem when it comes to the time to first token which is often around 1 to 2 seconds in most of the LLMs. Adding 35 ms is almost close to nothing.
