| Stack | Cas d'usage |
|-------|-------------|

## Méthodologie

### ML Pipeline en 6 étapes

1. **Data Ingestion** — collecter données brutes (batch/stream)
2. **Feature Engineering** — transformation, feature store
3. **Training** — orchestration, hyperparameter tuning
4. **Evaluation** — métriques, validation, bias detection
5. **Registry** — versioning modèle, metadata, lineage
6. **Deployment** — serving, monitoring drift, A/B testing

### Format d'implémentation

Pour chaque modèle ML :

| Élément | Implémentation |
|---------|----------------|
| **Data versioning** | DVC, Git LFS, Delta Lake |
| **Experiment tracking** | MLflow Tracking (params, metrics, artifacts) |
| **Model registry** | MLflow Registry (staging → production) |
| **Feature store** | Feast (offline training, online serving) |
| **Serving** | REST API (FastAPI + ONNX Runtime, TorchServe) |
| **Monitoring** | Drift detection (Evidently AI), latency (Prometheus) |
| **CI/CD** | GitHub Actions + pytest + model validation |

### Model Governance

| Aspect | Pratique |
|--------|----------|
| **Reproducibility** | Pin dependencies (Poetry, conda), seed randomness |
| **Lineage** | Tracer data → features → model → predictions |
| **Validation** | Schema validation (Great Expectations), bias detection (Fairlearn) |
| **Versioning** | Semantic versioning modèles (1.2.3) |
| **Access control** | RBAC sur model registry |

## Patterns MLOps

### MLflow Tracking

```python
import mlflow

mlflow.set_experiment("fraud-detection")

with mlflow.start_run():
    # Log parameters
    mlflow.log_param("learning_rate", 0.01)
    mlflow.log_param("max_depth", 10)
    
    # Train model
    model = train_model(X_train, y_train)
    
    # Log metrics
    mlflow.log_metric("accuracy", 0.95)
    mlflow.log_metric("f1_score", 0.92)
    
    # Log model
    mlflow.sklearn.log_model(model, "model")
    
    # Log artifacts
    mlflow.log_artifact("feature_importance.png")
```

### Kubeflow Pipeline

```python
import kfp
from kfp import dsl

@dsl.component
def preprocess_data(input_path: str, output_path: str):
    # Feature engineering
    pass

@dsl.component
def train_model(data_path: str, model_path: str):
    # Training
    pass

@dsl.pipeline(name="fraud-detection-pipeline")
def ml_pipeline():
    preprocess = preprocess_data(
        input_path="gs://data/raw",
        output_path="gs://data/processed"
    )
    
    train = train_model(
        data_path=preprocess.outputs["output_path"],
        model_path="gs://models/fraud"
    )

kfp.compiler.Compiler().compile(ml_pipeline, "pipeline.yaml")
```

### Feature Store (Feast)

```python
from feast import FeatureStore

store = FeatureStore(repo_path=".")

# Training: get historical features
training_df = store.get_historical_features(
    entity_df=entity_df,
    features=["user_features:age", "user_features:country"]
).to_df()

# Inference: get online features
features = store.get_online_features(
    features=["user_features:age", "user_features:country"],
    entity_rows=[{"user_id": 1001}]
).to_dict()
```

### Model Serving (FastAPI + ONNX)

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI
import onnxruntime as ort

app = FastAPI()
session = ort.InferenceSession("model.onnx")

@app.post("/predict")
def predict(features: dict):
    input_data = preprocess(features)
    outputs = session.run(None, {"input": input_data})
    return {"prediction": outputs[0].tolist()}
```

### Drift Detection (Evidently AI)

```python
from evidently.report import Report
from evidently.metric_preset import DataDriftPreset

report = Report(metrics=[DataDriftPreset()])
report.run(reference_data=train_df, current_data=production_df)
report.save_html("drift_report.html")

# Alerting si drift détecté
if report.as_dict()["metrics"][0]["result"]["dataset_drift"]:
    alert_team("Data drift detected!")
```

## Règles d'or

- **Reproducibility first** — versioning data + code + env + seed
- **Feature reuse** — feature store pour éviter duplication
- **Model versioning** — registry centralisé, jamais de model.pkl local
- **Shadow mode** — déployer nouveau modèle en shadow avant switch
- **Monitoring continu** — drift data + drift model + latency
- **A/B testing** — comparer modèles en prod avec métriques business

## Patterns Déploiement

### Stratégies de Rollout

| Stratégie | Description | Quand utiliser |
|-----------|-------------|----------------|
| **Blue/Green** | 2 versions, switch instantané | Rollback rapide nécessaire |
| **Canary** | 5% → 25% → 50% → 100% | Modèles critiques |
| **Shadow** | Nouveau modèle log prédictions sans servir | Validation comportement |
| **A/B Testing** | Split traffic entre 2 modèles | Optimisation métrique business |

### Model Formats

| Format | Avantages | Frameworks |
|--------|-----------|------------|
| **ONNX** | Interopérable, optimisé | PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn |
| **TorchScript** | PyTorch natif, mobile | PyTorch |
| **SavedModel** | TensorFlow natif | TensorFlow/Keras |
| **Pickle** | Simple, Python-only | scikit-learn (éviter en prod) |
