What You'll Learn
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Deploy Models to Production
Explain containerization strategies, model serving architectures, API design patterns, and deployment strategies like blue-green and canary releases with real-world trade-offs.
Build ML CI/CD Pipelines
Design automated training pipelines, implement model validation gates, set up reproducible experiments, and configure GitHub Actions workflows for ML systems.
Monitor Production ML
Detect data drift and model degradation, set up alerting and dashboards, define SLAs for ML services, and build observability into every stage of the ML lifecycle.
Design ML Infrastructure
Architect scalable ML platforms with Kubernetes, GPU scheduling, feature stores, experiment tracking, and model registries that support hundreds of models in production.
