MLOps Deployment Boundary: From Trained Artifact to Running Service

An architecture note explaining what changes when an ML artifact becomes a maintained service.

Answer in one sentence

The deployment boundary starts when another process or person depends on the model’s behavior.

Artifact to runtime

A trained artifact needs compatible preprocessing, dependencies, configuration, and a predictable entrypoint.

Service boundary

A Flask-like API can expose prediction behavior while owning validation, authentication, logging, and error semantics.

Operational lifecycle

Versioning, health checks, logs, rollback, and evaluation separate a maintained service from a one-off demo.

Applied evidence

The documented toolset includes Flask, Docker, deployment platforms, inference optimization, and model evaluation, so deployment is part of the engineering story.
