MLOps & ML Engineering Operations
MLOps is the application of DevOps principles to machine learning, focusing on deploying, monitoring, and maintaining models in production.
A model on a data scientist’s laptop has zero business value. MLOps provides the rigorous infrastructure required to deploy models, monitor for degradation, and manage SLM Repatriation efficiently without creating technical debt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Why is MLOps necessary?
Because deploying a model is only 10% of the work; maintaining it as data and user behavior changes is the real challenge.
