> Field notes on production AI and the engineering work around it: agents, infrastructure, DevOps, internal tools, and what it takes to make software reliable enough for real work.

Written by Greg Wilson, an experienced CTO and CIO who still likes being close to the code. One idea runs through the site: AI agents are production systems, not demos. Once an agent can write data, call tools, notify people, or change a workflow, it needs the same discipline as any system people rely on. That means evidence, boundaries, approval gates, and rollback.

- [A Grafana dashboard for your Mastra agent metrics](https://imawilson.com/posts/mastra-agent-grafana-dashboard/): Build the one Grafana dashboard to watch a Mastra agent: five golden signals, a p95 from histogram_quantile, exemplars, and the provisioned JSON to copy.
- [How to export Mastra agent metrics to Prometheus (no database required)](https://imawilson.com/posts/export-mastra-agent-metrics-to-prometheus/): Mastra derives agent metrics from its traces. To monitor and alert in Prometheus, an exporter listens on its observability bus, no analytics database needed.
