Running GenAI models is easy. Scaling them to thousands of users, not so much. This guide details avenues for scaling AI workloads from proofs of concept to production-ready deployments, covering API integration, on-prem deployment considerations, hardware requirements, and tools like vLLM and Nvidia NIMs.
   
    
 
 
  
   
   This is a hands-on guide with Python example code that walks through the deployment of an ML-based search API using a simple 3-step approach. The article provides a deployment strategy applicable to most machine learning solutions, and the example code is available on GitHub.
   
    
 
 
  
   
   In this article, we explore how to deploy and manage machine learning models using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Google AI Platform, and TensorFlow Serving. We will cover the steps to create a machine learning model and deploy it on a Kubernetes cluster for inference.
