    • Testing
    • Developer Workflow

  2. Braintrust Usage, Spend & Retention Checklist

    Braintrust has no spending cap, so set spend alerts and a scoring sampling rate before production traffic arrives. Size processed data, scores, and retention from real traces. Check what the March 2026 plan change removed before you downgrade.

    IncludesUsage and retention worksheet

    • AI Costs
    • Engineering Management

  3. Braintrust Data Plane, Hosting & Security Checklist

    Pick a US or EU data plane, BYOC, or self-hosting before launch, because the SaaS region is fixed at sign-up. Connect model providers through short-lived credentials and keep keys out of storage. Set redaction, access groups, and audit controls before production traffic.

    IncludesSecurity review checklist

    • Security
    • Governance
