MLOps in Practice: Balancing Cool Tech with Real-World Needs

MLOps has been a hot topic for years—but what does it really look like in practice? How do companies scale machine learning effectively? When does it make sense to have a dedicated MLOps team? And what does it take to make that team successful?

While there’s no shortage of cutting-edge tools and best practices, MLOps isn’t just about cool tech—it’s about delivering real value. It’s about building solutions that serve the needs of data scientists, engineers, and businesses.

🚀 Key Discussion Points:
🔹 Real-world examples of operating ML at scale
🔹 What MLOps actually means in practice
🔹 Tech choices: navigating the ecosystem
🔹 Building an effective MLOps team: aligning with stakeholder needs
🔹 Challenges, lessons, and the future of MLOps

Beyond the present, we’ll also explore what’s next: How is the evolving AI landscape shaping MLOps needs? What impact do all-in-one platforms like Databricks and GCP have?
