Most machine learning practitioners know how to build models. Far fewer know how to ship them reliably, maintain them over time, and operate the systems that surround them. This program closes that gap.
Gradient to Production is a comprehensive, intermediate-level program designed for data scientists, ML engineers, and analytics engineers who are ready to move beyond the notebook and into production. Across 15 focused courses, you will build the full stack of MLOps skills that modern AI teams require: designing resilient data pipelines, engineering reusable Python packages, deploying and containerizing models, serving inference APIs, testing ML systems rigorously, monitoring for drift, and documenting your work so teams can trust and build on it.
You will work with tools and frameworks used across the industry, including FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes, Apache Airflow, scikit-learn, GitHub Actions, and pytest. Every course combines concise instruction with hands-on labs, guided coaching, and realistic workflows that reflect how production ML teams actually operate.
By the end of the program, you will be equipped to design, deploy, test, monitor, and maintain ML systems end-to-end — with the engineering discipline, operational judgment, and communication skills that distinguish practitioners who experiment from engineers who deliver.
Applied Learning Project
Throughout this program, you will complete hands-on projects that build directly applicable production skills. You will construct and automate end-to-end scikit-learn pipelines, write and publish testable Python packages, build and deploy a FastAPI inference service integrated with GitHub Actions CI/CD, and stress-test your API using Locust to meet a 100 ms SLA target. You will write Dockerfiles, deploy containerized models to Kubernetes clusters, configure nightly pytest regression suites to catch model degradation, and build a complete MkDocs documentation site for a prediction API. You will also analyze A/B test and shadow deployment results, monitor data drift using PSI, and decompose complex ML systems into implementation-ready diagrams and pseudocode. Each project is grounded in realistic scenarios drawn from production ML environments.
