This intermediate course equips ML engineers, data scientists, and software engineers with the practical skills needed to design, deploy, and scale production AI systems. You’ll learn how to architect reliable ML and LLM applications, including model serving patterns, feature stores, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) components. The course walks through reproducible training and experimentation pipelines with tools like MLflow and Weights & Biases, from experiment tracking and model registration to production deployment.

You will configure CI/CD workflows tailored to ML and LLM systems, covering data, model, and prompt versioning, automated testing, and safe rollback strategies. The course emphasizes security, privacy, and compliance best practices, including access control, secrets management, and safe handling of user and training data. You’ll design scalable serving infrastructure using containers, Kubernetes, and autoscaling, and apply deployment patterns such as canary, blue-green, shadow, and A/B testing to introduce changes safely. Finally, you’ll build automated evaluation and observability for production AI. This includes automated evaluation pipelines (e.g., LLM-as-a-judge) wired into CI/CD gates, defining and tracking key quality and performance metrics like hallucination rate, latency, throughput, and cost per request, and implementing robust logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and telemetry. You will also detect and monitor data and model drift, bias, and degradation over time using tools such as Arize Phoenix, design alerting strategies, and collaborate with product and reliability teams to establish incident response, runbooks, and continuous improvement processes for AI systems at scale.
