I just finished listening to this podcast:

Moving from exploratory notebooks to production-ready code isn't just a technical transitionโ€”it's a signal your data science project has succeeded and is ready to deliver real value.

In finance, the gap between analysis and implementation is where many ML initiatives die. Standardizing your production workflow with frameworks like TensorFlow Extended enables consistent model deployment, automated retraining, and proper monitoringโ€”essential for regulatory compliance and reliable financial predictions.

I've seen too many teams get stuck in perpetual "notebook mode" because the production transition feels daunting. This episode reminded me that this skill gap isn't insurmountableโ€”it's about taking incremental steps toward DevOps practices while maintaining a healthy skepticism about what your models are actually doing in production.
