Product Benefits

Monitor and Optimize vLLM Inference Performance in Real Time

  • Gain complete visibility into inference latency, token generation throughput, and time to first token (TTFT) with out-of-the-box dashboards for vLLM workloads
  • Quickly identify bottlenecks across GPUs, memory, and request queues to keep LLM applications fast under production load
  • Correlate serving metrics with end-to-end traces to understand how infrastructure performance impacts user experience and downstream workflows

Optimize GPU Utilization and Reduce Inference Costs

  • Track GPU, CPU, memory, and cache utilization in real time to prevent over-provisioning and reduce unnecessary cloud spend
  • Rightsize infrastructure based on live usage patterns and token demand to balance performance and efficiency
  • Continuously uncover opportunities to improve cost-to-performance ratios across vLLM deployments without sacrificing reliability

Detect Bottlenecks and Prevent Inference Failures Before They Impact Users

  • Proactively monitor queue depth, preemptions, request backlogs, and other critical serving metrics with recommended preconfigured monitors
  • Automatically surface anomalies in latency, throughput, and resource consumption before they degrade response quality
  • Resolve performance disruptions early with actionable alerts and full-stack visibility into your inference pipeline

Debug Every Experiment Run with Trace-Level Visibility

  • Get full visibility into every experiment run with automatic tracing that captures evaluation scores, latency, errors, and token usage
  • Resolve regressions faster by isolating low-scoring test cases and inspecting tool calls, retrieval steps, and intermediate outputs in the execution trace
  • Keep testing repeatable across teams with versioned datasets, experiment runs, and shared performance analysis in one place
  • Compare experiment outcomes alongside production telemetry and evaluation signals from the same platform
