🛠️ Develop

During the development phase, Phoenix offers essential tools for debugging, experimentation, evaluation, prompt tracking, and search and retrieval.

​
Traces for Debugging

Phoenix’s tracing and span analysis capabilities are invaluable during the prototyping and debugging stages. By instrumenting application code with Phoenix, teams gain detailed insights into the execution flow, making it easier to identify and resolve issues. Developers can drill down into specific spans, analyze performance metrics, and access relevant logs and metadata to streamline debugging efforts.

​
🧪 Testing/Staging

In the testing and staging environment, Phoenix supports comprehensive evaluation, benchmarking, and data curation. Traces, experimentation, prompt tracking, and embedding visualizer remain important in the testing and staging phase, helping teams identify and resolve issues before deployment.

​
Iterate via Experiments

With a stable set of test cases and evaluations defined, you can now easily iterate on your application and view performance changes in Phoenix right away. Swap out models, prompts, or pipeline logic, and run your experiment to immediately see the impact on performance.

​
🚀 Production

In production, Phoenix works hand-in-hand with Arize, which focuses on the production side of the LLM lifecycle. The integration ensures a smooth transition from development to production, with consistent tooling and metrics across both platforms.
Phoenix and Arize use the same collector frameworks in development and production. This allows teams to monitor latency, token usage, and other performance metrics, setting up alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
