What is the Production-Grade MLOps Foundations course about?
Even high-potential ML initiatives fail in deployment due to brittle pipelines, poor monitoring, and misalignment between data science, engineering, and leadership. Without a production-grade foundation, innovation stalls and technical debt accumulates rapidly.
