I Revived a Broken MLOps Platform — Now It's Self-Service, Policy-Guarded, and Operationally Credible
The article discusses the revival of a broken MLOps platform that was transformed into a self-service AI inference system. After facing significant issues, the author rebuilt the platform with a focus on GitOps, policy enforcement, and operational credibility. The successful outcome is demonstrated through a series of checks that confirm the platform's functionality and reliability.
- ▪The platform was initially abandoned due to multiple failures, including issues with Backstage, ArgoCD, and KServe.
- ▪After 48 days, the author rebuilt the platform into a self-service AI inference system with 21 successful checks and no failures.
- ▪The new system incorporates five enforcement layers to ensure policy compliance and operational integrity.
