Course Objective & Scope
When tracing, evaluation and gateway tools are set up in isolation, engineering teams still end up relying on manual spot-checks and trial-and-error in production. This comprehensive programme focuses on wiring every LLMOps layer around an enterprise RAG or agent application into a single, connected engineering pipeline.
In hands-on labs participants integrate model gateways, versioned prompt registries, PR-triggered eval and regression suites, runtime guardrails and live trace feedback loops, leaving with a working reference LLMOps template and trace dashboard design.
Who Should Attend?
- AI and software engineers operating LLM, RAG or agent systems in production
- MLOps and platform teams establishing a company-wide LLMOps standard
- Technical leads and architects accountable for engineering quality in AI projects
- Prerequisite: Python, Docker, Git workflows and prior LLM application development experience
Key Takeaways
- Unify model gateways, prompt registries, tracing and evaluation tools in one architecture
- Build automated regression and quality gates that run on every prompt or model change
- Capture failing production traces and convert them into golden eval test cases
- Consolidate cost, latency, safety and quality metrics into an operational dashboard
- Create a reusable enterprise LLMOps project template for multiple teams
