Building Production ML Systems: A Complete Guide

Why Production ML is Different

Training a model is just 10% of the work. Getting it to production and keeping it running is where the real challenges begin.

Key Components

### Model Serving

### Monitoring

### Infrastructure

Best Practices

1. **Start simple** - Begin with a basic serving solution

2. **Monitor everything** - Track both model and business metrics

3. **Automate retraining** - Set up automated model refresh pipelines

Conclusion

Production ML requires a different skillset than research. Focus on reliability, observability, and maintainability.
