Production AI Systems

Monitoring, error handling, cost optimization, and reliability at scale.


§  You will learn
  • Define what 'production-ready' means for an AI system and identify the gaps between a prototype and a reliable deployment
  • Design a monitoring strategy that catches output quality degradation, latency regressions, and cost anomalies before they become incidents
  • Implement layered error handling including retries with backoff, fallback models, and human-in-the-loop escalation paths
  • Apply concrete cost optimization techniques (semantic caching, model routing, and prompt compression) to reduce spend without sacrificing quality
  • Build an evaluation framework that tests AI behavior continuously, catches regressions, and gives you confidence when deploying changes
  • Add error handling, cost tracking, and an evaluation suite to an existing AI system
