What is the Production-Grade MLOps Foundations course about?
Data science initiatives often stall after the prototype phase due to lack of standardized deployment, monitoring, and governance practices. Without a unified framework, teams face technical debt, compliance gaps, and operational fragility, especially as model count grows.
