Monitoring and Alerting for Prompt Failures by Travis Kroon

Monitoring and Alerting for Prompt Failures

Prompt engineering isn’t done when the prompt ships. It’s done when the prompt survives production. In 2025, LLM-powered systems break silently. A prompt that worked yesterday can drift today—with zero code changes. If you’re not monitoring your prompts, you’re flying…

Building Robust Prompt APIs for Production Environments by Travis Kroon

Building Robust Prompt APIs for Production Environments

You can’t ship serious AI products without treating prompts like product logic. If you’re deploying LLM-powered features—chatbots, classifiers, summarizers—your prompts shouldn’t live in notebooks. They need to live behind robust, versioned, observable APIs. This guide walks through how to build…

Evaluating Multi-Modal Prompts Image, Text, and Beyond by Travis Kroon

Evaluating Multi-Modal Prompts: Image, Text, and Beyond.

Prompt engineering is no longer text-only. With GPT-4 Vision, Claude 3, and Gemini handling images, documents, charts—even audio—2025 demands a new discipline: multi-modal prompt evaluation. This post outlines how to evaluate image + text prompts systematically, measure performance, and build…

Prompt Refactoring Patterns for Complex Tasks by Travis Kroon

Prompt Refactoring Patterns for Complex Tasks

As prompt engineering matures, brute-force trial and error no longer cuts it. Complex tasks—multi-step reasoning, document synthesis, agent orchestration—need structured prompt refactoring. In this post, we explore reusable refactoring patterns to improve clarity, reliability, and output quality when basic prompting…
