MLOps
MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) is an engineering practice that integrates the development and production operations of machine learning systems, combining methodologies from machine learning, data engineering, and DevOps. Its core scope covers data management, model training, version control, automated deployment, continuous integration and delivery, and model monitoring and iterative updates in production environments, aiming to improve the reliability, reproducibility, and scalability of machine learning projects from experimentation to production.
Core Facts
Google's MLOps maturity model defines the degree of automation across three levels: Level 0 is fully manual, Level 1 achieves ML pipeline automation and continuous training, and Level 2 achieves full CI/CD + CT automation.
Google's MLOps maturity model divides ML systems into levels 0 through 2, with Level 2 achieving a complete CI/CD/CT closed loop.
The concept of MLOps was first proposed by Google around 2015, with the goal of bringing DevOps engineering practices into the full lifecycle management of machine learning systems.
Timeline (last 90 days)
A mature MLOps system typically includes a feature store, automated evaluation gates, and shadow traffic validation, and the absence of any one of these will cause model iteration speed to be dragged down by infrastructure.
ChurnWatch covers both ends of the MLOps lifecycle, training and monitoring, omitting heavy components such as CI/CD, feature stores, and model registries.
The typical MLOps lifecycle is usually divided into stages such as data preparation, experimentation, training, deployment, monitoring, and retraining.
AgentOps is not a replacement for MLOps, but a new layer of capability stacked on top of it: model serving is still managed by MLOps, while the Harness lifecycle, sandbox policy, and trajectory tracing are taken up by AgentOps.
MLOps focuses on the observability of model training, version management, and inference services, with the core object being stateless or lightly stateful inference endpoints; AgentOps focuses on agent processes that are stateful, long-running, and actively change the external environment.
The platform includes MLOps and model validation (feature pipelines, forward-rolling and purged cross-validation, backtesting, and simulated trading), as well as domain-specific small models and an MCP server that lets AI agents query the data.
For teams just starting with MLOps, a more pragmatic approach is to first get the minimal "training → deployment → monitoring" closed loop working, then gradually fill in more advanced capabilities such as CI/CD and automated retraining.
If the entire MLOps pipeline—including data pipelines, feature stores, model registries, and inference services—is deployed under a vendor-managed account, the cost of rebuilding the environment after the partnership ends may exceed the cost of retraining the model itself
Platforms such as AWS SageMaker and Databricks Mosaic AI cover the full MLOps lifecycle management from data ingestion to model monitoring.
Maintaining a decision model requires continuous monitoring of data distribution, periodic retraining, or triggering active learning processes, constituting additional overhead at the MLOps level that should be factored into the total cost of ownership (TCO)
