Build & Learn: From Data Science to AI Engineering Week 3

We are moving to Luma, check out future events there!

📅 Week 3: Build Production ready AI backends

This event is part of our seven-week AI Engineering program, where we build an end-to-end AI application step by step and present our finished projects during Demo Day in Week 7.

This week, we’ll work through the key layers of a modern AI application:

• Build APIs with FastAPI and validate everything with Pydantic.
• Containerize with Docker and work with PostgreSQL for storage.
• Manage configuration and secrets safely with environment variables.
• Understand MCP servers and how they extend your AI applications.

By the end of the 7 week cycle, you should have a working AI application in your own GitHub repository and practical experience with AI pipelines, APIs, databases, retrieval, evaluation and deployment.
You are welcome to follow the shared project or apply the weekly concepts to your own project.

✨ Who is this for?
Anyone interested in transitioning towards AI engineering.
No previous LLM or AI engineering experience is required. However, I recommend some basic programming experiences or be to help with your first build session.
