AI Production Readiness Workshop

From Prototype to Production:
AI Infrastructure That Doesn’t Break at 3AM

If you’re deploying LLMs, you don’t need more demos — you need reliability, safety, observability, and cost controls that survive real traffic, real outages, and real budgets.

1-day workshop
Hands-on hardening
90-day roadmap

Your LLM stack is fragile

The painful stuff shows up after launch — when the on-call rotation is already tired.

Reliability failures

  • 502s/timeouts under bursty traffic or provider hiccups
  • Thundering herds, retry storms, and cascading failures
  • Rate-limits and quota surprises that take prod down

Cost & control failures

  • Cost overruns from prompt bloat, bad caching, or runaway agents
  • No observability: you can’t answer “what changed?” at 3AM
  • Vendor lock-in: switching models breaks product assumptions

What you get (1-day workshop)

A practical deep-dive into your stack — with deliverables you can act on immediately.

Architecture review

We map your request path end-to-end: clients, gateways, orchestration, model providers, tools, storage.

Live threat modeling

What breaks, what leaks, and what costs $50k overnight — and how to prevent it.

Hands-on hardening

Build a routing proxy with circuit breakers, timeouts, retries, and safe fallbacks.

Observability setup

Define what to measure, how to sample, what to alert on, and how to avoid alert fatigue.

90-day roadmap

Takeaway plan tailored to your constraints: reliability, safety, cost, and vendor mobility.

Executive summary

A clean write-up your team can align around: risks, mitigations, and prioritized next steps.

Who it’s for

Teams already deploying LLMs (or about to) who need production-grade guardrails.

  • Engineering leads owning uptime and incident response
  • Platform teams building shared AI infrastructure
  • AI/ML teams shipping LLM-backed features
  • Security & compliance partners who need clarity and controls

Format

Remote or on-site. We’ll tailor the day to your stack, your on-call reality, and your risk posture.

Pricing

Transparent starting points. Final scope depends on team size, stack complexity, and goals.

Remote (half-day)

$7,500 starting
  • Architecture + risk review
  • Priority fixes + guardrails
  • Actionable next steps

On-site

About the instructor

30 years in Unix and HPC, building distributed systems that stay up. Built AI infrastructure at scale. Conference veteran.

This workshop is pragmatic: we’ll talk about failure domains, paging, cost ceilings, model routing, and security boundaries — then we’ll build the pieces you’re missing.

What you leave with

  • A clear view of your production failure modes
  • Concrete mitigations and priorities
  • A roadmap your team can execute

Request intake

Tell us a bit about your stack. We’ll reply with next steps and scheduling options.

Tip: If you can share a high-level diagram (even a rough one), we can make the workshop far more effective.
