// Tips & operations
Run it properly.
Operational guidance from running this in production — what to lock down, what surprises people.
// PERFORMANCE
CrewAI Studio is community-built
main library is the canonical interface
// SECURITY
Token costs explode fast
multi-agent loops can consume 10× more tokens than single chat
// OPERATIONS
Sandbox dangerous tools
agents using code execution need isolation
// RELIABILITY
No built-in auth
in Studio — protect with reverse proxy
// DEPLOYMENT
Persistent volume
Studio saves crews + agents to SQLite
// SCALING
Production = library
Studio for prototyping, library for production
