Production ML Pipeline

End-to-end LLM pipeline with full observability, model versioning, and zero-downtime automated deployment via CI/CD.

Project Overview

The client had a working AI prototype but no path to production. Models were deployed manually, there was no versioning, no monitoring, and every update risked downtime. They needed a battle-tested MLOps pipeline.

I designed and implemented a complete production pipeline — from model registry and automated testing through containerized deployment with health checks, rollback capability, and real-time performance monitoring.

The Challenge & Solution

Challenge

  • Manual model deployment taking 2+ hours with frequent errors
  • No version tracking — impossible to rollback broken models
  • Zero monitoring: failures discovered by users, not alerts
  • Development and production environments completely divergent

Solution

  • Automated CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions for every push
  • Model registry with semantic versioning and rollback support
  • Prometheus + Grafana for real-time metrics and alerting
  • Docker-based parity between dev, staging, and production

Pipeline Architecture

A robust, automated pipeline from code commit to production deployment.

Code & Model Push

Developer pushes code or model update. GitHub Actions triggers automated pipeline.

Automated Testing

Unit tests, integration tests, and model evaluation benchmarks run automatically.

Container Build

Docker image built with pinned dependencies. Tagged with version and pushed to registry.

Staged Rollout

Canary deployment to staging. Health checks validated before promoting to production.

Monitoring & Alerts

Prometheus scrapes metrics. Grafana dashboards. PagerDuty alerts on anomalies.
