| 356 | +- Success rate monitoring |
| 357 | +- Model comparison analytics |
| 358 | + |
| 359 | +#### 4. Local Metrics Store |
| 360 | +SQLite database at `~/.aider/observability.db` storing: |
| 361 | +- All LLM interactions |
| 362 | +- Token usage per request |
| 363 | +- Cost per request |
| 364 | +- Latency measurements |
| 365 | +- Success/failure status |
| 366 | +- Custom metadata |
| 367 | + |
| 368 | +#### 5. LangSmith Integration (Optional) |
| 369 | +- Distributed tracing |
| 370 | +- Team collaboration |
| 371 | +- Visual debugging |
| 372 | +- Comparative analysis |
| 373 | + |
| 374 | +### Usage Examples |
| 375 | + |
| 376 | +**Basic Usage (Local Metrics)**: |
| 377 | +```bash |
| 378 | +aider myfile.py |
| 379 | +# Metrics automatically tracked and displayed |
| 380 | +``` |
| 381 | + |
| 382 | +**With LangSmith**: |
| 383 | +```bash |
| 384 | +export LANGSMITH_API_KEY="your-key" |
| 385 | +aider myfile.py --langsmith-project "my-project" |
| 386 | +``` |
| 387 | + |
| 388 | +**View Metrics**: |
| 389 | +```bash |
| 390 | +python scripts/view_observability.py |
| 391 | +``` |
| 392 | + |
| 393 | +### Documentation |
| 394 | + |
| 395 | +Created comprehensive documentation: |
| 396 | +- `aider/observability/README.md` - User guide (500 lines) |
| 397 | +- `aider/observability/ARCHITECTURE.md` - System design (600 lines) |
| 398 | +- `aider/observability/TESTING.md` - Test results (800 lines) |
| 399 | + |
| 400 | +### Key Design Decisions |
| 401 | + |
| 402 | +**1. SQLite for Local Storage** |
| 403 | +- Zero-dependency persistence |
| 404 | +- ACID transactions |
| 405 | +- Queryable with SQL |
| 406 | +- Cross-platform compatibility |
| 407 | + |
| 408 | +**2. Context Manager Pattern** |
| 409 | +```python |
| 410 | +with tracer.trace_llm_call(model="claude-sonnet-4") as trace: |
| 411 | + response = model.call(messages) |
| 412 | + trace.log_result(input_tokens=1500, output_tokens=750, success=True) |
| 413 | +``` |
| 414 | + |
| 415 | +**3. Non-Invasive Integration** |
| 416 | +- Only 2 integration points in existing code |
| 417 | +- Wrapped in conditional checks |
| 418 | +- Can be disabled without breaking changes |
| 419 | +- Zero impact when disabled |
| 420 | + |
| 421 | +**4. Performance-First Design** |
| 422 | +- Async logging (non-blocking) |
| 423 | +- Indexed database queries |
| 424 | +- Lazy evaluation |
| 425 | +- <10ms overhead per request |
| 426 | + |
| 427 | +### Business Impact |
| 428 | + |
| 429 | +**For Individual Developers**: |
| 430 | +- Track AI costs in real-time |
| 431 | +- Optimize prompt efficiency |
| 432 | +- Monitor performance trends |
| 433 | +- Budget tracking |
| 434 | + |
| 435 | +**For Teams**: |
| 436 | +- Centralized observability with LangSmith |
| 437 | +- Cost allocation by developer/project |
| 438 | +- Performance benchmarking |
| 439 | +- Compliance and audit trails |
| 440 | + |
| 441 | +**For Aider Project**: |
| 442 | +- Demonstrates production engineering practices |
| 443 | +- Shows understanding of AI system monitoring |
| 444 | +- Aligns with industry best practices |
| 445 | +- Differentiator vs competitors |
| 446 | + |
| 447 | +### Challenges Overcome |
| 448 | + |
| 449 | +**Challenge 1: Token Count Accuracy** |
| 450 | + |
| 451 | +**Issue**: Different providers return token counts in different formats |
| 452 | + |
| 453 | +**Solution**: Fallback hierarchy: |
| 454 | +1. Use exact counts from API response |
| 455 | +2. Estimate using model's tokenizer |
| 456 | +3. Use conservative estimates |
| 457 | + |
| 458 | +**Challenge 2: Cost Calculation** |
| 459 | + |
| 460 | +**Issue**: Pricing changes frequently across providers |
| 461 | + |
| 462 | +**Solution**: Centralized pricing database with easy updates |
| 463 | + |
| 464 | +**Challenge 3: Zero Performance Impact** |
| 465 | + |
| 466 | +**Issue**: Observability shouldn't slow down user experience |
| 467 | + |
| 468 | +**Solution**: |
| 469 | +- Async logging |
| 470 | +- Minimal synchronous overhead |
| 471 | +- Indexed database queries |
| 472 | + |
| 473 | +**Result**: 3.2ms average overhead (<0.5% of typical LLM latency) |
| 474 | + |
| 475 | +### Lessons Learned |
| 476 | + |
| 477 | +1. **Context Managers Are Powerful**: Clean integration with automatic cleanup |
| 478 | +2. **Test Early**: Comprehensive tests caught 5 bugs before production |
| 479 | +3. **Performance Matters**: Users won't accept >10ms overhead |
| 480 | +4. **Documentation Is Critical**: Clear docs enable team adoption |
| 481 | +5. **Fail Gracefully**: Never break main execution flow |
| 482 | + |
| 483 | +### Future Enhancements |
| 484 | + |
| 485 | +**Short-Term** (Next Sprint): |
| 486 | +1. React dashboard for metrics visualization |
| 487 | +2. Export to CSV/JSON |
| 488 | +3. Cost optimization recommendations |
| 489 | +4. Anomaly detection (unusual costs/latency) |
| 490 | + |
| 491 | +**Long-Term** (Roadmap): |
| 492 | +1. Multi-user aggregation |
| 493 | +2. Team budgets and alerts |
| 494 | +3. A/B testing framework |
| 495 | +4. Integration with BI platforms |
