After deploying hundreds of ML models to production across startups and enterprises, I’ve learned that model deployment is where most AI projects fail. Not because the models don’t work—but because teams underestimate the engineering complexity of serving predictions reliably at scale. This article shares production-tested deployment patterns from REST APIs to Kubernetes orchestration. 1. The […]
