Introduction

Deep learning has become a cornerstone of modern AI development. Integrating it with CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) ensures efficient model training, testing, and deployment. This guide explores the essentials of combining deep learning with CI/CD practices.

Key Concepts

  • Model Training Automation
    Use CI tools to trigger training pipelines on code commits.

    Model Training Automation
  • Version Control for Models
    Track model versions alongside code using Git.

    Model Version Control
  • Testing Frameworks
    Leverage tools like TensorFlow Extended (TFX) or PyTorch Lightning for automated testing.

Best Practices

  1. Automate Data Pipelines 🛠️
    Ensure data preprocessing is part of the CI/CD flow.
  2. Monitor Model Performance 📈
    Use dashboards to track metrics during deployment.
  3. Security in Pipelines 🔒
    Validate inputs and secure access to training environments.
