Serving AI in Production

What it actually takes to run a model reliably at scale.

What you'll actually learn

Training a model in a notebook and serving it reliably to real traffic are two almost unrelated problems. This track covers the second one: how to package a model so it starts up fast, how to handle a burst of requests without falling over, how to catch the moment a model's real-world accuracy quietly degrades (drift) long before anyone complains, and how to roll back a bad model version as calmly as you'd roll back any other bad deploy.

What you'll be able to do

You'll be able to take a trained model and actually put it behind a production-grade serving setup — with monitoring that would catch it silently getting worse over time, not just crashing — which is the exact gap between "I trained a model once" and "I can be trusted to run one."
