Authors
Valeri Babushkin and Arseny Kravchenko have filled this unique handbook with campfire stories and personal tips from their own extensive careers. You’ll learn directly from their experience as you consider every facet of a machine learning system, from requirements gathering and data sourcing to deployment and management of the finished system.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the technology

Designing and delivering a machine learning system is an intricate multistep process that requires many skills and roles. Whether you’re an engineer adding machine learning to an existing application or designing a ML system from the ground up, you need to navigate massive datasets and streams, lock down testing and deployment requirements, and master the unique complexities of putting ML models into production. That’s where this book comes in.

About the book

Machine Learning System Design shows you how to design and deploy a machine learning project from start to finish. You’ll follow a step-by-step framework for designing, implementing, releasing, and maintaining ML systems. As you go, requirement checklists and real-world examples help you prepare to deliver and optimize your own ML systems. You’ll especially love the campfire stories and personal tips, and ML system design interview tips.

From the Back Cover

From the back cover:

In Machine Learning System Design: With end-to-end examples you'll find a step-by-step framework for creating, implementing, releasing, and maintaining your ML system. Every part of the life cycle is covered, from information gathering to keeping your system well-serviced. Each stage includes its own handy checklist of requirements and is fully illustrated with real-world examples, including interesting anecdotes from the author's own careers.

You'll follow two example companies each building a new ML system, exploring how their needs are expressed in design documents and learning best practices by writing your own. Along the way, you'll learn how to ace ML system design interviews, even at highly competitive FAANG-like companies, and improve existing ML systems by identifying bottlenecks and optimizing system performance.

About the reader:

5.0 out of 5 stars For Experienced Engineers Transitioning To ML/GenAI Production Systems

M.C. · August 20, 2025

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I picked this from a from an YT channel recommendation and was blown away! This book stands out from all others by being incredibly practical and very hands on.This is very much unlike other system design books as this book is bursting with easily digestible, hard earned insights, and painful lessons from failed deployments of business-critical, AI systems.If you have industry experience you will notice that all other books on ML system spend far too much time on basics and don’t contain any real practical insights; Too academic and not practical. While the basics are important there is a big experience gap that I see daily for the applied AI field. This book is the only resource that I have found that breaks this trend (outside of blogs).Unfortunately, if you are new to the industry, you might easily gloss over the insane amount of insights spoon fed to you here. I could be wrong, but keep that in mind. I could see this book helping you with ml system design interviews however.On the other hand, I strongly recommend this book for experienced swe’s that have transitioned to ml or even gen ai; you WILL get a lot out of this book!This can also double as an amazing desk reference, can’t recommend it enough!
