Production ML Systems: Architecture and Best Practices
In a production machine learning system the model is the smallest part. This guide maps the components around it, compares the three serving patterns, explains the ML-specific technical debt that architecture has to contain, and sets out the practices that keep a system maintainable as it grows.
Serving ML Models with FastAPI and Docker
Putting a model behind an API is where many projects stall. This guide builds a FastAPI prediction service that loads a model once at start-up, enforces an input contract, serves single and batch predictions, reports health and readiness separately, and shows the Dockerfile that packages it.
Vertex AI and SageMaker for MLOps: A Comparison
Both clouds rebuilt and renamed their ML platforms: SageMaker is now SageMaker AI inside a wider SageMaker, and Vertex AI's documentation now lives under Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. This comparison maps the MLOps building blocks on each, notes what changed recently, and gives a way to choose.
What Is MLOps? DevOps for Machine Learning Explained
MLOps is the practice of building machine learning systems that keep working after launch. This guide defines it, explains why ML needs more than DevOps, and shows the problem it solves on real data: a model built in 2011 that was 38% wrong through 2012, and how much the way you retrain it matters.
Feature Stores Explained: Why Teams Need Them
A feature store keeps the features a model trains on and the features it is served the same. This guide builds one with Feast on a year of real retail orders and shows the problem it solves: a naive join that looked better in validation, 0.798 against 0.727, then did worse in production.
Scaling Model Training with Distributed Computing
Distributed training splits the work across machines, but keeping them in step costs time. In real PyTorch data-parallel runs with one, two and four workers, every replica stayed identical, yet small batches trained slower with more workers and only large batches gained, about one and a half times with four.
