LLMOps Engineering

L4-L5 · 7 courses · 116 chapters

Monitor hallucination rates and token costs, operate guardrails and eval gates, manage prompt versioning and canary deployments.

What you'll learn

Core responsibilities this discipline prepares you for.

1

Design CI/CD pipelines

for LLM application deployment

  • Build ArgoCD GitOps workflows with Helm-based deployments and environment promotion
  • Implement canary and blue-green rollout strategies with automated quality-based rollback
  • Wire complete CI/CD pipelines that trigger rollbacks when evaluation metrics degrade
2

Monitor LLM systems in production

— latency, errors, costs, quality

  • Instrument with OpenTelemetry and Langfuse v3 for OTEL-native distributed tracing
  • Build Grafana dashboards with Logfire for Python application monitoring and alerting
  • Set up monitoring stacks that detect anomalies, fire alerts, and enable trace-based root cause analysis
3

Manage LLM gateway operations

— key rotation, failover, quota management

  • Operate LiteLLM gateway: API key lifecycle management, provider health monitoring, per-team quotas
  • Handle zero-downtime model version switching with traffic draining and validation
  • Simulate provider outages and quota exhaustion to validate failover and degradation behavior
4

Implement FinOps practices

— cost attribution, budgets, and optimization

  • Track token costs by team, feature, and model with Prometheus-based budget alerting
  • Implement cost optimization through semantic caching, model tiering, and prompt compression
  • Build FinOps dashboards that demonstrate measurable cost reduction across optimization strategies
5

Build continuous evaluation pipelines

for production LLM quality

  • Run RAGAS and DeepEval evaluation pipelines alongside production traffic as shadow evaluators
  • Set up Langfuse-based quality tracking with automated quality gates and threshold alerting
  • Detect quality degradation in real time and trigger automated alerts when scores drop below baselines
6

Detect and respond to prompt attacks

and safety incidents in production

  • Monitor NeMo Guardrails operationally for prompt injection and jailbreak detection patterns
  • Classify incident severity and execute structured response workflows with containment procedures
  • Simulate attack scenarios end-to-end: detection, triage, remediation, and post-incident analysis
7

Manage data quality for RAG systems

— freshness, drift, accuracy

  • Monitor embedding drift and retrieval accuracy with continuous RAGAS evaluation
  • Set up automated reindexing triggers and stale content detection pipelines
  • Build monitoring for live RAG systems that detects quality degradation and triggers reindexing workflows
8

Implement capacity planning

— predict demand and right-size deployments

  • Forecast token demand using historical usage patterns and run load tests for LLM services
  • Model SLA capacity requirements and configure KEDA-based autoscaling policies
  • Run load tests that predict capacity requirements and validate SLA compliance under variable traffic
