preface

A useful piece of feedback that I got from a reviewer of this book was that it became a “cheat code” for them to scale the steep MLOps learning curve. I hope that the content of this book will help you become a better informed practitioner of machine learning engineering and data science, as well as a more productive contributor to your projects, your team, and your organization.

In 2021, major technology companies are vocal about their efforts to “democratize” artificial intelligence (AI) by making technologies like deep learning more accessible to a broader population of scientists and engineers. Regrettably, the democratization approach taken by the corporations focuses too much on core technologies and not enough on the ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
