### The Production Gap
Students understand **how to build** and **how to optimize** ML systems but not **how to deploy** them:
-**Development**: Can build complete ML systems from scratch
-**Optimization**: Can compress, accelerate, and benchmark models
-**Production**: Don't know how to deploy, monitor, and maintain systems
-**Operations**: Can't handle model versioning, A/B testing, or continuous learning
## 📚 What You'll Build

```python
# Model serving endpoint
server = ModelServer(model_v2, port=8080)

```
### **Monitoring & Observability**
```python
# Model performance monitoring
monitor = ModelMonitor(model_v2)

drift_detected = drift_detector.detect_drift(new_data)
```
### **A/B Testing Framework**
```python
# Safe model deployment
ab_test = ABTestManager()
ab_test.add_variant("control", model_v1, traffic_split=0.8)
ab_test.add_variant("treatment", model_v2, traffic_split=0.2)
# Experiment tracking
results = ab_test.run_experiment(test_data)
```
### **Continuous Learning System**
```python
# Automated retraining
learner = ContinuousLearner(model_v2)
learner.add_training_data(new_data)
improved_model = learner.retrain_if_needed()
# Automated deployment
pipeline = MLOpsPipeline()
pipeline.train_model(new_data)
