🔥 What You'll Achieve

Bridge the gap between ML experimentation and production systems

🚀 Deploy & Scale ML Models

Master Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and tools like MLflow, FastAPI, BentoML to deploy and scale production ML systems

📊 Monitor & Build ML Pipelines

Detect data drift, track performance, set up alerts, and create end-to-end automated workflows with Airflow, Kubeflow for CI/CD

💼 Master Production ML & Land Roles

Build portfolio projects showcasing production ML skills. Handle millions of predictions with optimization and land $120k-$200k+ MLOps roles

🎯 Why MLOps Matters

The Critical Gap Between Notebooks and Production

The 90% Problem

90% of ML models never make it to production. Why? Because building a model is only 10% of the work. The real challenge is:

  • 🚀 Deploying models that can handle real-world traffic
  • 📊 Monitoring for data drift and performance decay
  • 🔄 Retraining automatically when accuracy drops
  • Scaling from 10 to 10 million predictions/day
  • 💰 Optimizing costs (inference can cost $100k+/month)

MLOps is the solution. This course teaches you the engineering skills to take any ML model from prototype to production at scale.
