GenAI systems face unique production challenges, such as latency spikes, unpredictable costs, and reliability failures.
What you'll learn
GenAI systems face unique production challenges, such as latency spikes, unpredictable costs, and reliability failures. In this course, Optimizing GenAI Systems for Speed and Stability, you'll gain a practical foundation in making GenAI applications production-ready. First, you'll explore how to identify performance bottlenecks across the preprocessing, inference, and retrieval stages of your GenAI pipeline. Next, you'll discover optimization strategies including quantization, batching, and caching to improve speed, throughput, and cost efficiency. Finally, you'll learn how to apply resilience patterns like retries, fallbacks, and circuit breakers while understanding scalable deployment strategies. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of GenAI system optimization needed to start building applications that are faster, more stable, and more cost-effective.
