Original: Fixing a Live Production AI Agent with Docker, Sentry, and Google AI
Short summary
The author describes debugging a live AI voice agent that started silently failing after 48 hours of uptime. Root cause was a Docker container configuration issue combined with system prompt misalignment after restarts. The fix involved rebuilding the agent from scratch with proper environment variable persistence, volume mounting, and health check endpoints, with Sentry providing critical error monitoring and session replay diagnostics.
- •AI voice agent failed silently after 48h due to Docker state loss and prompt misinitialization
- •Rebuilt agent from scratch with proper env persistence, volume mounts, and health checks
- •Sentry session replays confirmed frontend was waiting on an unresponsive backend
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
