Drift Detection

Detect when production data or model performance degrades.

Maturity level: L3Can Deploy

Six perspectives on Drift Detection

Roadmap

Learn after model serving and observability are in place.

Architecture

Feedback loop from production metrics to retraining.

Company

Expected in mature MLOps and LLMOps teams.

Projects

Add drift checks to every deployed model.

Interview

Monitoring strategy and incident response.

Career

Production ML ownership.

What & Why

What: Monitoring statistical shifts in input data and model predictions over time.

Why: Models silently fail when the world changes — drift detection triggers retraining.

Build this

Monitor a deployed model and alert when feature distributions shift.

Production reality

  • ! Alert fatigue
  • ! False positives
  • ! Delayed detection
  • ! Missing baselines

Interview preparation

  • Types of drift
  • How would you monitor an LLM in production?
