MLOps stands for Machine Learning Operations. This is the DevOps approach used for ML-based applications. MLOps is the main function of machine learning design and it aims to improve and optimize the process of implementing machine learning models into production, as well as their maintenance and monitoring.
MLOps helps businesses develop data science and implement high-quality ML models 80% faster
“AI and machine learning can transform the way business is done, but only if organizations can fundamentally reshape organization structures, cultures, and governance frameworks to support AI” – According to Jeff Butler, director of research databases at the Internal Revenue Service.
MLOps consulting services transform organizations by streamlining the entire machine learning lifecycle. These services deliver concrete advantages that impact both development speed and model effectiveness.
By implementing comprehensive MLOps practices, companies establish reliable, scalable machine learning operations that consistently deliver business value while eliminating the “model graveyard” of AI projects that never reach production.
Our approach bridges the critical gap between data science experimentation and production reliability. Rather than simply deploying isolated models, we craft comprehensive MLOps frameworks that transform your machine learning initiatives from academic exercises into production-grade systems that directly contribute to your bottom line.

Revolut is a well-known British company offering banking services to clients from various countries. MLOps plays an important role in securing user transactions and preventing fraud-related losses.
Sherlock system
This machine learning-based card fraud prevention system is used by Revolut to monitor user transactions. Whenever Sherlock detects a suspicious transaction, it automatically cancels the transaction and blocks the card.
Immediately the user receives a notification in the Revolut app to confirm whether the transaction was fraudulent. You can easily unblock your card by confirming a secure transaction and continuing with your purchase.
On the other hand, if you do not recognize the transaction, the card will be terminated and users can order a free card replacement.
How Revolut is deploying models to production
Revolut conducted training for production using Google Cloud Composer. Models are cached in memory to keep latency low and deployed as a Flask application.
Additionally, Revolut used an in-memory database dedicated to storing customer profiles called Couchbase.
The whole process can be described step by step:
1) After receiving a transaction via HTTP POST requests, Sherlock downloads the respective user and vendor profiles from Couchbase.
2) A feature vector is generated in order to produce training data and generate predictions.
3) The last step is sending a JSON response directly to the processing backend – that’s where a corresponding action takes place.
Monitoring model’s performance in production
For monitoring their system in production, Revolt used Google Cloud Stackdriver.
It shows data about operational performance in real-time.
If any issues arise, Google Cloud Stackdriver alerts team members by sending them emails and texts so that the fraud detection team can assess the threat and take appropriate action.
Uber is the largest ride-sharing company worldwide.
Its services are available through the Uber mobile app, which connects users to the nearest drivers and restaurants.
Machine learning operations enable key functions such as estimating driver arrival time and determining the optimal toll based on user demand and driver supply.
Michelangelo platform
This platform is specifically designed to enable Uber teams to create, deploy, and maintain MLOps.
Michelangelo’s main goal is to cover the holistic machine learning workflow while supporting traditional models such as deep learning and time series forecasting.
The platform model goes from development to production in three steps:
1) Online forecasts in real-time.
2) Offline predictions based on trained models.
3) Embedded model deployment on mobile phones.
Moreover, the Michelangelo platform has useful features to track the data and model lineage, as well as to conduct audits.
How Uber is deploying models to production
The Uber model is being successfully transitioned from development to production via the Michelangelo platform thanks to Embedded Model Deployment and Online & Offline Predictions.
Online forecasting mode is used for models that make real-time forecasts.
Trained models are divided into multiple containers and run as clustered online predictive services.
This is crucial for Uber services that require a continuous flow of data with many different inputs, such as driver-drive pairing, etc.
Offline predictive models are particularly used to handle internal business challenges where real-time results are not required.
Models trained and deployed offline run batch forecasts when a recurring schedule is available or upon customer request.

Monitoring model’s performance in production
There are several ways Uber monitors countless models on a large scale through Michelangelo.
One is the distribution of forecasts and publishing of metrics functions over time to assist dedicated systems or teams in determining anomalies.
The second is to record the model’s predictions and analyze the insights provided by the data pipeline to determine whether the model-generated predictions are correct.
Another way is to use model performance metrics to evaluate the accuracy of the model.
Large-scale data quality can be monitored with the Data Quality Monitor (DQM). It automatically finds anomalies in data sets and runs tests to raise an alert on the platform responsible for data quality issues.
DoorDash enables local businesses to offer deliveries by linking them with consumers seeking delivery and dashers who are delivery personnel.
This company implements MLOps solutions in order to optimize the experience of dashers, merchants, and consumers. Machine learning technology plays the biggest role within DoorDash’s internal logistics engine.
ML models enable running forecasts and based on them, determining the necessary supply of dashers while observing the demand in real-time.
Moreover, machine learning helps with estimating the time of delivery, dynamic pricing, offering recommendations to clients and search ranking of the best merchants available for DoorDash.
How DoorDash is deploying models to production
The DoorDash team develops machine learning models to meet their production or research needs. They often use open source machine learning platforms such as PyTorch (tree-based models) and LightGBM (neural network models).
DoorDash uses the ML wrapper in the training pipeline. The metadata and files are then added to the model store, waiting to be loaded with the microservice architecture.
Sibyl, a specially designed prediction service, is responsible for providing output data to various use cases. The model service enables them to load models and cache them in memory.
When there is a forecast request, the platform tests to see if any features are missing, and if so, delivers them from the feature store. Predictions can be made available in a variety of ways, in real-time, in shadow mode, or asynchronously.
Responses obtained by forecasts are sent back to the user as a protobuf object in gRPC format. Additionally, forecasts are logged in the Snowflake datastore.
Monitoring model’s performance in production
The monitoring service used by the company tracks the forecasts provided by Sybilla to monitor model metrics. Additionally, the service analyzes feature distribution to monitor data drift as well as a log of all forecasts generated by the service.
To collect and aggregate monitoring statistics, as well as generate metrics that need to be watched, DoorDash uses the Prometheus monitoring platform.
To visualize this data in graphs and charts, the company uses Grafany.

This integrated strategy enables rapid AI development without compromising oversight or accountability.
Key risk management capabilities:
One of the keys to a successful project is building a professional team.
The number of machine learning engineers, data engineers, and DevOps engineers required is always determined by the complexity and requirements of the project.
It is essential to extract data from all sources and create a pipeline that will ensure uninterrupted data extraction in the system.
You can change various parameters when running a model. And this, in turn, leads to different results.
Therefore, version control allows you to revert to the previous parameter set if necessary.
Model testing involves checking for bad rates, accuracy, ROC, area under the curve, population stability index (PSI), characteristic stability index (CSI), etc.
An integral step in MLOps consulting projects – periodic monitoring of machine learning model performance.
