Machine learning systems are both complex and unique. Complex because they consist of many different components and involve many different stakeholders. Unique because they're data dependent, with data varying wildly from one use case to the next. In this book, you'll learn a holistic approach to designing ML systems that are reliable, scalable, maintainable, and adaptive to changing environments and business requirements.
The book has been translated into Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, and Thai.
The book is available on:
and most places where technical books are sold.
This book focuses on the key design decisions when developing and deploying machine learning systems. This is NOT a tutorial book, so it doesn't have a lot of code snippets. In this repo, you won't find code examples, but you'll find:

This book is for anyone who wants to leverage ML to solve real-world problems. ML in this book refers to both deep learning and classical algorithms, with a leaning toward ML systems at scale, such as those seen at medium to large enterprises and fast-growing startups. Systems at a smaller scale tend to be less complex and might benefit less from the comprehensive approach laid out in this book.
Because my background is engineering, the language of this book is geared toward engineers, including ML engineers, data scientists, data engineers, ML platform engineers, and engineering managers.
You might be able to relate to one of the following scenarios:

"This is, simply, the very best book you can read about how to build, deploy, and scale machine learning models at a company for maximum impact. Chip is a masterful teacher, and the breadth and depth of her knowledge is unparalleled." - Josh Wills, Software Engineer at WeaveGrid and former Director of Data Engineering, Slack
"There is so much information one needs to know to be an effective machine learning engineer. It's hard to cut through the chaff to get the most relevant information, but Chip has done that admirably with this book. If you are serious about ML in production, and care about how to design and implement ML systems end to end, this book is essential." - Laurence Moroney, AI and ML Lead, Google
"One of the best resources that focuses on the first principles behind designing ML systems for production. A must-read to navigate the ephemeral landscape of tooling and platform options." - Goku Mohandas, Founder of Made With ML
