Workshop
Get Production Ready: Securing and Observing LLM Applications
Lisa Carpenter | Thursday, May 7, 2026 | Gurten, Bern
Description
Description
Your LLM app works great in development, but are you ready to move it to production. What happens when users start probing it with creative prompts? When your RAG system accidentally surfaces confidential documents? When latency spikes and you have no idea why?
This workshop tackles the two most neglected aspects of production LLM systems: security and observability. You’ll learn to defend against prompt injection, implement guardrails, detect anomalies, and build the instrumentation needed to debug issues at 3am.
Through hands-on exercises with Python, you’ll build security layers and observability pipelines for a realistic RAG application — leaving with patterns you can apply to your own projects immediately.
