Managing trace retention in Phoenix and trade-offs of moving from self-hosted Phoenix to Arize
Hey everyone, two quick questions:
- 1.
Retention & traces: How are you managing trace retention in Phoenix? Is the standard practice to stick with the 15-day retention window? If you need to debug something older, how do you handle that? Do you export traces elsewhere, increase retention, or rely on another storage layer?
- 2.
Moving from self-hosted Phoenix to Arize Could someone give me a clear TL;DR on the trade-offs? Context:
~100k traces/month
Multiple AI agents & Multimodal inputs
Evaluations running & Prompt versioning in place
What do we concretely gain by moving to Arize vs staying self-hosted?
