MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) ML کے لیے DevOps جیسی practices کو لاگو کرتا ہے — مکمل ML lifecycle (ڈیٹا، تربیت، deployment، monitoring) کو قابل اعتماد طریقے سے اور بڑے پیمانے پر منظم کرتا ہے۔ یہ production میں ML کو deploy اور maintain کرنے میں منفرد operational challenges سے نمٹتا ہے۔
ML lifecycle
ML projects involve a full lifecycle (not just training a model):
1. DATA → collect, clean, label, version data (data is foundational)
2. TRAINING → develop, train, and evaluate models (experimentation, tuning)
3. DEPLOYMENT → put the model into production (serving predictions/inference)
4. MONITORING → track performance in production; detect issues
5. MAINTENANCE → retrain/update models as data and performance change
→ an ongoing cycle, not a one-time effort
