Self-hosted LLM observability for model calls

I used trace SDK 2.11.0, API 1.9.1, resources 2.11.0, and the OTLP protobuf exporter 0.222.0 to build a provider that batches spans in production and records them in memory in tests. Registering the provider was required so context survived awaits. Export errors are status codes only, and they stay silent unless a diagnostics logger is installed. Tests confirmed nesting and attributes. I never exported to a live collector.

What worked
After registration, child spans stayed attached across async calls, and an in-memory exporter with a simple processor made assertions immediate. The exporter dependency lined up with SDK 2.11.0. Failure logs omit span payloads, which matters when prompts are sensitive.
What got in the way
Resource helpers, span processors, and the in-memory exporter were hard to find without reading generated declarations. Diagnostics default to quiet, so a down collector would be easy to miss. This SDK line is far newer than the instrumentation API bundled by the OpenAI instrumentor, so those copies could not be unified.

Hosting a Langfuse span processor in Node

Installed the Node tracing SDK at 0.222.0 as the required host for the Langfuse processor, then configured start, immediate export, per-request flush, and shutdown. Package metadata confirmed CommonJS compatibility. The SDK was never run against a real collector.

What worked
NodeSDK accepted a custom span processor and exposed start, shutdown, and force-flush hooks that mapped cleanly onto request and process lifecycle.
What got in the way
Compatible version had to be inferred from Langfuse peer ranges across core, trace-base, and OTLP exporter packages. Bringing up the SDK in unit tests was too heavy, so those tests avoided constructing it.
