Are you deploying ML models that need to respond in milliseconds, not seconds? In production environments, even the most accurate model becomes worthless if it can't meet real-time performance demands.
This Short Course was created to help ML and AI professionals accomplish systematic optimization of inference code and establish robust development workflows for production-ready ML systems.
By completing this course, you'll be able to diagnose performance bottlenecks in your inference pipelines, apply advanced optimization techniques like quantization and pruning, and implement GitFlow or Trunk-Based Development strategies with automated CI/CD pipelines that you can deploy immediately in your workplace.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Analyze inference code to optimize for real-time performance
- Evaluate Git branching strategies and CI/CD pipelines for codebase management
This course is unique because it bridges the gap between ML model development and production engineering, combining performance optimization techniques with software engineering best practices specifically tailored for ML workflows.
To be successful in this project, you should have experience with Python, PyTorch or TensorFlow, TensorRT, Git version control, and basic understanding of ML model deployment.
Learners will systematically profile ML inference pipelines, identify performance bottlenecks, and apply optimization techniques like quantization and pruning to achieve real-time performance requirements.

Coursera brings together a diverse network of subject matter experts who have demonstrated their expertise through professional industry experience or strong academic backgrounds. These instructors design and teach courses that make practical, career-relevant skills accessible to learners worldwide.
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.
