Trace. Eval. Ship: Running AI Agents in production

About this event

Anyone can demo an AI agent. Running one in production — where it's traced, evaluated, and trusted at scale — is a different discipline entirely. Join ClickHouse and Women in Tech SG, hosted at the PayPal office in Singapore, for an evening built for the engineers doing exactly that. We'll dig into the unglamorous work that makes agentic systems shippable: tracing every step an agent takes, building evals that catch regressions before your users do, and the real-time data infrastructure that keeps observability fast when traces hit the billions. Who should come: This one's pitched at a senior audience — AI/ML engineers, data and platform engineers, and technical leads shipping (or scaling) LLM-powered systems in production. If you're past the tutorial stage and deep in the "why did my agent do *that*" stage, this evening is for you. 📍 Venue: PayPal Office, Singapore 🗓️ Date: Tuesday, October 6, 2026 🕕 Doors open: 6:00 p.m. SGT 🗓️ AGENDA: • :00 PM: Registration, Food & Chitchat • 6:30 PM: Welcome and Introductions by Amrita Mishra, Country Director, Women in Tech Singapore • 6:40 PM: Talk - Trace. Eval. Ship: Running AI Agents in production by Yisam Lee, Senior Support Engineer @ ClickHouse • 7:15 PM: Panel Discussion on "Engineers shipping payments at scale" • 7:45 PM: Wrap-up and Networking 🎤 Session Details: Trace. Eval. Ship: Running AI Agents in production Every AI agent in production generates a flood of questions: which prompt version caused that regression? Why did the agent pick the wrong tool? Is the new model actually better, or just different? Yisam tackles these head-on, showing how end-to-end tracing turns agent behavior from a black box into queryable data, how eval pipelines built on real production traces replace gut feel with hard signal, and why the storage layer matters more than most teams expect — with a look at how platforms like Langfuse lean on ClickHouse to keep tracing and evals fast at billions of spans. Expect concrete patterns, real war stories from the support trenches, and a workflow you can apply to your own agents the next morning.
