// Abstract
This Coffee Session is a Collaboration with @AIEngineering. Srivatsan Srinivasan, the founder of the popular AI Engineering channel on YouTube and a senior partner at a major technology consultancy. Sri has a true passion for building ML systems, and his channel engages in some of the most detailed, thorough, and complete treatments of the MLOps topics we often discuss in the community. It's no surprise, then, that his coffee session with us went similarly!
This conversation became pretty technical. We delved into details of how to set up CI/CD, how to set up the right kinds of tests, which cloud tools stand out to us on GCP, AWS, etc., and many other topics. Sri had a wealth of knowledge on all these fronts!
