LLM Observability and Cost Management: Langfuse, Monitoring

On Udemy

About this course

Are you spending too much on LLM API costs? Do you struggle to debug production AI applications?

This course teaches you how to implement professional-grade observability for your LLM applications — and cut your AI costs by 50-80% in the process.

The Problem:- A single runaway prompt can cost $10,000 in an afternoon- Token usage spikes 300% and no one knows why- Users complain about slow responses, but you can't identify the bottleneck- Your RAG pipeline retrieves garbage, and the LLM hallucinates confidently

The Solution:

  • This course gives you the tools, patterns, and code to monitor, debug, and optimize every LLM call in your stack.

What You'll Build:- Production-ready observability pipelines with Langfuse- Semantic caching systems that reduce costs by 30-50%- Smart model routing that automatically selects the cheapest model for each task- Alert systems that catch cost spikes before they become budget crises- Debug workflows that identify issues in minutes, not hours

What Makes This Course Different:1. Cost-First Approach — We lead with ROI, not just monitoring theory2. Vendor-Neutral — Compare Langfuse, LangSmith, Arize, Helicone objectively3. Production-Grade — Skip the basics, dive into real-world patterns4. Hands-On Code — Every concept includes working Python code you can deploy today

Course Structure:- Module 1: The Business Case — Why Observability = Money- Module 2: Understanding LLM Costs — Where Your Money Goes- Module 3: Observability Platform Selection — Choosing the Right Tool- Module 4: Instrumenting Your LLM Application — Hands-On Implementation- Module 5: Cost Optimization Strategies That Work — Caching, Routing, Prompts
