Step 14

Monitoring & Evaluation

Reveals quality, latency, and drift.

What It Does

Monitoring collects real-time metrics on system performance, such as latency, usage statistics, error rates, and user feedback. Evaluation systematically assesses answer quality through manual reviews, user ratings, and automated metrics against benchmark datasets. Both rely on comprehensive logging of inputs, retrievals, and outputs.

Why It Matters

Without monitoring and evaluation, you're flying blind. These processes help you detect issues, understand where improvements are needed, and measure the impact of changes. They provide the insights necessary to maintain high quality, justify the system's performance, and catch regressions before they affect users.

Common Challenges

Defining meaningful metrics that truly capture RAG system quality
Attributing issues to specific pipeline components for targeted improvements
Balancing comprehensive logging with privacy and storage concerns
Creating effective alerting systems that catch both sudden and gradual degradation
Developing evaluation strategies that evolve with your system and use cases
Managing the cost and complexity of continuous monitoring infrastructure
