Hey — It's Sandip Das 👋

In Day 40 we learned to detect drift with KS, PSI and Evidently. But drift is only one signal, and a drift report nobody looks at is just a nice HTML file.

Today we zoom out: what should you actually monitor in a production ML system, and how do you turn that into a written monitoring plan with thresholds, alerts and actions?

📚 Key Learnings

  • Why ML systems fail silently and why classic APM is not enough
  • The four pillars: data quality, data drift, model performance, system health
  • Online vs offline monitoring, and the ground-truth delay problem
  • How to pick metrics, thresholds and alert severities that people will respect
  • Hands-on: write a monitoring plan for iris-mlops as code (YAML) and validate it
