Production Model Deployment Patterns: From REST APIs to Kubernetes Orchestration in Python

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 workβ€”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 […]

The Patterns That Actually Matter: What Building Microservices at Scale Taught Me About Distributed Systems

πŸŽ“ AUTHORITY NOTE This content reflects 20+ years of hands-on enterprise software engineering and architecture experience. Recommendations are production-tested and enterprise-validated. Executive Summary The transition from monolithic architectures to microservices is often painted as a silver bullet for scalability. However, without the right distributed system patterns, it often results in a “distributed monolith”β€”a system that […]
