"Docker and Model Serving: Deploy ML APIs with FastAPI and ONNX is designed for ML engineers, MLOps practitioners, and backend developers who want to take models from notebooks to production. You'll learn to build Docker containers for ML workloads, design scalable REST APIs with FastAPI, serialize models with ONNX and SavedModel, and deploy with zero-downtime strategies like blue-green and canary releases.
The first module covers Docker fundamentals, image optimization, multi-stage builds, secrets management, and Docker Compose for multi-container ML apps.
The second module focuses on REST API design with FastAPI, model versioning, input validation with Pydantic, structured logging, and production-grade error handling.
The third module teaches scaling strategies — horizontal scaling, async queues, load balancing, batch vs. real-time inference, and latency optimization for high-throughput serving.
The final module covers model serialization formats (ONNX, pickle, SavedModel), blue-green and canary deployments, automated rollback, and disaster recovery.
By the end of this course, you will:
- Build and optimize Docker images for ML models using multi-stage builds and Compose
- Design scalable FastAPI endpoints with versioning, validation, and observability
- Scale ML inference with async queues, load balancing, and latency optimization
- Deploy models with ONNX serialization and zero-downtime blue-green rollbacks"
This module introduces containerization fundamentals and shows learners how to build efficient Docker images for ML workloads, ensuring portability and reproducibility across environments.

Do I need prior Docker experience to take this course?
No prior Docker experience is required. Module 1 starts with container fundamentals and guides you through building ML-optimized images from scratch.
What tools and frameworks are covered?
The course covers Docker, Docker Compose, FastAPI, Pydantic, ONNX, pickle, TensorFlow SavedModel, load balancers, and message queues for real-time inference.
Is Python knowledge necessary?
Yes, basic Python is expected since you'll be writing FastAPI endpoints and model serialization scripts. ML training experience is helpful but not required.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
