Complete MLOps guide for 2026: model versioning with MLflow, containerization, serving with FastAPI and Triton, monitoring, A/B testing, and CI/CD pipelines for ML models. Production patterns from top ML teams.
Master Kubernetes in 2026: deployments, services, ingress, ConfigMaps, secrets, HPA autoscaling, rolling updates, health checks, RBAC, and managed Kubernetes on AWS EKS, GKE, and AKS.
Master Docker in 2026: multi-stage builds, Docker Compose, optimized Node.js and Python images, secrets management, health checks, and deploying containers to cloud platforms.
Design and build microservices in 2026: service decomposition, synchronous (REST/gRPC) vs async (message queues) communication, service discovery, API gateway, distributed tracing, and when NOT to use microservices.
Use TestContainers to run real PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kafka in tests. Isolate data per test, parallelize safely, and catch integration bugs before production.
Docker eliminates the "it works on my machine" problem forever. In this guide, we'll learn Docker from scratch — containers, images, Dockerfiles, Docker Compose, and production best practices — with real-world examples for Node.js and Python apps.
