Production orchestration requires operational excellence. Scaling patterns handle increased load—horizontal scaling, request batching, and intelligent caching. Cost optimization controls spending through model selection, token efficiency, and smart caching. Monitoring provides visibility into orchestration health, latency, and error rates. Alerting catches issues before users do. Audit trails enable debugging and compliance. Deployment strategies enable safe rollouts with rollback capability. Production orchestration is where orchestration design meets operational reality.
