MLOps Projects: Engineer the Complete ML Delivery Lifecycle

This programme focuses on building production-ready ML systems. You will engineer six connected systems covering the full MLOps lifecycle—from event-driven data ingestion and distributed training to governed model release, drift detection, and managed cloud deployment—producing verifiable portfolio evidence for each stage.

Event-Driven Data Orchestration and Validation

ML pipelines break when upstream data changes. Without orchestration, validation, and quarantine paths, bad data silently corrupts training and serving.

What is built

An orchestrated, validated ingestion pipeline that separates clean data from rejected records.

Key Deliverables

Orchestrated pipeline definition, validation suite, quarantine logic, and a data-quality runbook.

Portfolio Evidence

Portfolio Output: Orchestration pipeline with validation and quarantine runbook

Workflow:Redpanda/KafkaDagsterPanderaValid / Quarantine
View Engineering Deep-Dive & Review Criteria
Engineering Decisions

Choosing partitioning strategy, setting validation thresholds, and designing the quarantine recovery path.

Failure & Recovery Scenarios

Schema drift from upstream source causing validation failures, or Dagster job failure requiring retry logic.

Mentor Review Checklist

Pipeline correctness, validation coverage, orchestration reliability, and quarantine explanation.

Tools & Role
RedpandaStreaming ingestion compatible with Kafka APIs
DagsterPipeline orchestration with retries and observability
PanderaSchema validation and data-quality checks
Validated data feeds into the versioning stage for reproducible training.

Reproducible Data and Artifact Versioning

Training results cannot be reproduced when data, code, and environment are not versioned together. Without lineage, teams cannot trace which inputs produced which model.

What is built

A versioned data and code repository with reproducible training runs and visible lineage.

Key Deliverables

Versioned repository, DVC remote configuration, reproduction report, and lineage documentation.

Portfolio Evidence

Portfolio Output: Reproducible repository with versioned data and lineage documentation

Workflow:GitDVCS3 RemoteDagsHubReproduce
View Engineering Deep-Dive & Review Criteria
Engineering Decisions

Choosing DVC remote storage strategy, managing dataset versions, and linking code commits to data versions.

Failure & Recovery Scenarios

Missing dataset version, corrupted remote storage, or inability to reproduce a prior training run.

Mentor Review Checklist

Reproducibility, repository structure, version management, and lineage explanation.

Tools & Role
GitCode versioning and collaboration
DVCDataset versioning and reproducibility
Amazon S3Remote storage for versioned data
DagsHubVisible lineage and experiment tracking
Versioned data feeds into the distributed training stage for scalable model development.

Distributed CPU/GPU Training and Experiment Tracking

Training on a single machine is slow and does not reflect production scale. Without distributed training and experiment tracking, teams cannot compare runs or select the best configuration.

What is built

A distributed training job with checkpointing, retries, and tracked experiments across workers.

Key Deliverables

Distributed training script, checkpoint strategy, MLflow experiment comparison, and a scaling note.

Portfolio Evidence

Portfolio Output: Distributed training job with experiment comparison and scaling documentation

Workflow:Ray TrainWorkersCheckpointsMLflowCompare
View Engineering Deep-Dive & Review Criteria
Engineering Decisions

Choosing worker count, batch size distribution, checkpoint frequency, and resource allocation.

Failure & Recovery Scenarios

Worker failure mid-training, GPU memory exhaustion, or checkpoint corruption requiring restart.

Mentor Review Checklist

Training correctness, distribution strategy, checkpoint reliability, and experiment comparison logic.

Tools & Role
Ray TrainDistributed training across multiple CPU and GPU workers
MLflowExperiment tracking and run comparison
Tracked experiments produce candidate models for evaluation, registry, and release.

Governed Model Registry, Release and Serving

Models are promoted without documented evaluation criteria. Without registry gates, CI/CD, and serving tests, deployments are risky and difficult to reverse.

What is built

An evaluation, release, and serving pipeline with documented promotion criteria and automated gates.

Key Deliverables

Evaluation report, registered model, Docker image, CI/CD workflow, and a release/rollback note.

Portfolio Evidence

Portfolio Output: Model release pipeline with evaluation gates and rollback documentation

Workflow:EvaluateMLflow RegistryFastAPIDockerCI/CD
View Engineering Deep-Dive & Review Criteria
Engineering Decisions

Defining evaluation thresholds, choosing serving framework, and setting CI/CD gates and rollback strategy.

Failure & Recovery Scenarios

A model failing evaluation gates, a CI/CD pipeline blocking a bad release, or an unhealthy rollout requiring rollback.

Mentor Review Checklist

Evaluation logic, promotion criteria, CI/CD correctness, serving health checks, and rollback explanation.

Tools & Role
MLflow RegistryModel versioning and promotion gates
FastAPIInference API and health checks
DockerContainer packaging for reproducible runtime
CI/CDAutomated build, test, and deployment gates
Released models are monitored in production for drift and performance degradation.

Drift Detection and Controlled Retraining

Production models degrade silently. Without drift detection, alerting, and a controlled retraining pipeline, teams cannot respond to model performance decline before business impact occurs.

What is built

A drift detection system with alerting and a controlled retraining pipeline that validates challengers before promotion.

Key Deliverables

Drift report, alert rules, retraining pipeline, validation gate, and a response runbook.

Portfolio Evidence

Portfolio Output: Drift detection system with retraining pipeline and response runbook

Workflow:SignalsDrift CheckRetrainValidatePromote / Reject
View Engineering Deep-Dive & Review Criteria
Engineering Decisions

Setting drift thresholds, choosing retraining trigger conditions, and deciding whether to promote, reject, or roll back.

Failure & Recovery Scenarios

Drift alert firing on noise, a challenger model failing validation, or a rollback decision after failed promotion.

Mentor Review Checklist

Drift analysis accuracy, threshold rationale, retraining logic, and response decision documentation.

Tools & Role

MLflowChallenger validation and promotion tracking
Self-managed patterns translate into managed AWS SageMaker components in the capstone.

AWS SageMaker Deployment Capstone

Self-managed MLOps workflows are complex to operate at scale. Managed cloud services simplify deployment but require understanding of what is actually available and how it maps to your existing pipeline.

What is built

A managed-cloud version of one approved workflow using SageMaker Training Jobs and Serverless Inference, with IAM, logging, and cleanup.

Key Deliverables

SageMaker implementation with Training Jobs and Serverless Inference, IAM configuration, cost analysis, and a comparison note.

Portfolio Evidence

Portfolio Output: SageMaker capstone with Training Jobs, Serverless Inference, and cost analysis

Workflow:Self-managedSageMaker TrainingServerless InferenceComparison
View Engineering Deep-Dive & Review Criteria
Engineering Decisions

Choosing which SageMaker components to use, mapping self-managed steps to managed services, and understanding cost implications.

Failure & Recovery Scenarios

SageMaker resource limits, unexpected costs, or a managed component not matching the self-managed pipeline behaviour.

Mentor Review Checklist

Component mapping correctness, IAM and logging, cost awareness, and comparison between self-managed and managed approaches.

Tools & Role
Amazon S3Data storage for SageMaker training input
SageMaker Training JobsManaged training execution

Who This MLOps Course Is For

Production Gap

ML-specific deployment patterns, model lifecycle, drift detection

Existing Strength

CI/CD, infrastructure, monitoring, release management

Programme Outcome

Own ML deploys, reliability, and rollbacks end-to-end

Prerequisites

Basic Python and Git are required to start.

Beginner-level ML understanding (training + evaluation) is helpful but not mandatory.

Docker and Kubernetes foundations are built from scratch within the programme.

Who Should Choose a Different Starting Point

  • If you need Python fundamentals first, consider a Python basics course before enrolling.
  • If you have never trained or evaluated a basic ML model, start with an ML foundations course.
  • If you want only LLM, RAG, or agent production operations, explore the LLMOps course instead.
  • If you need a formal degree or regulated credential, this is a professional certification, not an academic credential.
  • If you expect guaranteed employment, career support helps you prepare but does not guarantee job placement.

What Is the MLOps Lifecycle? How This Course Covers It

The MLOps lifecycle is a continuous engineering loop that applies operational practices to machine learning. It ensures that data ingestion, model training, release management, serving, and monitoring are repeatable, testable, and maintainable. This course teaches you to build this loop using industry-standard tools like MLflow, DVC, and Kubernetes.

PrometheusGrafanaEvidently

Feedback loop: Monitoring signals flow back to investigation, rollback, or retraining — the lifecycle is not purely linear. The course distinguishes between infrastructure monitoring (service health), data drift (input distribution change), model-performance degradation (prediction quality), and training-serving skew (offline/online mismatch).
