MLOps

MLOps applies DevOps-like practices to machine learning: versioning, testing, deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management of models.

Definition

MLOps applies DevOps-like practices to machine learning: versioning, testing, deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management of models.

Plain English explanation

The engineering discipline of keeping ML models reliable from notebook to production.

Technical explanation

MLOps covers experiment tracking, feature stores, model registries, CI/CD for ML, serving, and monitoring for drift and performance.

Why it matters

Models fail in production without lifecycle engineering. MLOps separates notebook demos from operable systems.

Real-world applications

  • Model deployment pipelines
  • Monitoring and rollback
  • Feature consistency between train and serve

Benefits

  • Improves reliability and auditability
  • Speeds safe iteration

Limitations

  • Tool sprawl
  • Needs organizational process, not only software

Common misconceptions

  • Buying an MLOps tool does not replace model validation
