Longer essays and technical guides on MLOps, data engineering, AI architecture, Azure and the platform concerns that tend to show up after the model finally works.
Feature store alternatives for production ML: when feature tables, shared transformation libraries or warehouse-first patterns are enough, and when a feature store earns its cost.
Databricks MLOps Stacks are a practical starting point for production ML. Learn how to grow the template into a team standard for delivery, release and operations.
AI-generated code risks are often not obvious syntax errors. The harder problem is code that catches real failures, retries them badly, returns mock data and still reports success.
A practical Databricks MCP server tutorial: build a custom MCP server in Python, keep the tool layer small, and deploy it on Databricks Apps with a Delta-backed GTD assistant.
If you ask whether MLOps is mostly software engineering, the practical answer is broader: delivery, data reliability, architecture and operational ownership usually matter more than the model code itself.
