LLMOps & AgentOps

Operate LLMs and agents
with production-software discipline.

Prompt versioning, evaluations, trace observability, and cost control — so a provider change or a bad prompt edit is a monitored event, not an incident you find out about from a customer.

Good fit: an LLM or agent system already in production, or about to be Poor fit: a one-off script nobody depends on
What this covers

The same discipline
as production software.

Prompts, retrieval, model routing, traces, token cost, evaluations, and tool-using agents — operated with the same rigor as any other production system, not left to run unmonitored until something breaks.

MLOps owns conventional model pipelines: training, registry, deployment, drift, retraining. This page owns everything specific to LLMs and agents sitting on top of that infrastructure. It matters most once a system crosses from one agent into a multi-agent architecture, where a trace has to be followed across several agents to find out which one actually caused a bad outcome, and for SaaS products embedding an assistant where every customer-visible failure is also a support ticket.

What we build

Eight layers
of operational control.

01
Prompt & configuration versioning
Every prompt change tracked, so you can see what changed and roll it back.
02
Offline & online evaluations
Scored before release and sampled continuously in production. See agent testing & evaluation.
03
Trace & tool-call observability
Every step an agent takes is visible and reviewable after the fact.
04
Retrieval & index monitoring
Catching retrieval quality degradation before it shows up as bad answers.
05
Cost & latency controls
Spend and response time tracked per feature, not discovered at month-end.
06
Model routing & provider change management
A provider swap is a monitored rollout, not an emergency.
07
Guardrails, PII & permissions
Policy enforcement and incident response for anything that touches sensitive data.
08
Release gates & rollback
A change has to clear a threshold before it ships, and a path back if it doesn't hold up.

Implementation,

01Implementation

We build the observability, release-gate, and routing infrastructure, then hand it to your team.

02Managed monitoring

We watch the dashboards alongside you on an ongoing basis.

03Built alongside development

Designed in from day one on a new build, not retrofitted after launch.

Trace example

What a trace
actually shows.

When a customer reports a wrong answer, the trace is what turns "something went wrong" into a specific, fixable step.

01
Input & intent classification
The raw query and which intent/route it was classified into — the first place a misroute shows up.
02
Retrieval step
Which chunks were retrieved, their relevance scores, and whether the golden-set threshold was met for this query shape.
03
Tool calls
Every tool invoked, the arguments passed, and the raw response — the step that catches a malformed or out-of-scope call before it executes.
04
Final generation
The model's output alongside a groundedness score against what was actually retrieved, plus token count and cost for that single request.

Retrieval-quality monitoring runs on the same trace data in aggregate: a rolling score across recent queries flags when retrieval accuracy on a specific query type drifts below its baseline, which is usually the first visible sign that source documents changed or went stale.

Incident response

When something
actually breaks.

TriggerResponse
Error rate or latency spike past thresholdAutomated alert, with the triggering traces linked directly for diagnosis
Retrieval or output-quality regressionAutomatic rollback to the last known-good prompt/model config
Cost spike past budget thresholdAlert plus a rate-limit or routing fallback to cheaper models while it's investigated
Guardrail / PII violation flaggedImmediate escalation to a named owner, logged for the incident register regardless of severity
Proof

Cost tracked,
not discovered at month-end.

Our LLM inference cost reduction case study describes the exact failure this service exists to prevent: per-document cost rising in lockstep with volume, invisible until the bill arrived. The fix — model routing, caching, and context trimming — cut cost by roughly 70% while tracking it on an ongoing dashboard instead of finding out monthly.

Why Dwayo

No sales pitch,
just how we work.

Cost visible per feature

Not a blended bill you have to reverse-engineer.

Provider changes are routine, not fire drills

Routing and fallback built in from the start.

Traces, not guesswork

Every agent step is reviewable after the fact.

Full handoff

You own the dashboards and configuration at completion.

Common questions

Before you
book a call.

How is LLMOps different from MLOps?

MLOps covers conventional model pipelines. LLMOps covers prompts, retrieval, model routing, generative evaluations, agent traces, and token economics. Most teams running both need both.

What happens when a model provider changes something?

Routing and fallback are designed in from the start, so a provider outage or deprecation triggers a configuration change and a monitored rollout, not an incident.

Do we need this if we already have monitoring?

General infrastructure monitoring tells you if a service is up. It doesn't tell you if an agent is still making good decisions or if retrieval quality has degraded.

Is this a one-time setup or an ongoing engagement?

Both are available — a fixed-scope build, or an ongoing managed-monitoring engagement.

What does a trace actually show when something goes wrong?

The full path a request took: intent classification, what was retrieved and its relevance score, every tool call and its arguments, and the final generation with a groundedness score. That's usually enough to pinpoint which step caused a bad answer, rather than guessing from the output alone.

What happens automatically when something breaks, versus what needs a person?

Error-rate spikes and quality regressions trigger automated rollback to the last known-good configuration. Guardrail or PII violations escalate immediately to a named owner regardless of severity — those never resolve silently.
