📘 MLOps Workflow: From Raw Data to Production Model

A comprehensive guide to implementing Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) workflows using Python, Pandas, and modern deployment practices.

🎯 Overview

This repository demonstrates a complete MLOps pipeline that transforms raw data into production-ready machine learning models. The workflow covers data preparation, exploratory analysis, feature engineering, model development, deployment, and continuous monitoring. This guide provides detailed implementation steps, code examples, and best practices for each phase of the MLOps lifecycle.

🔄 Workflow Phases

🔹 Phase 1: Data Preparation (using Pandas)

1. Ingest Data

Purpose: Collect and consolidate data from various sources into a unified format.

Detailed Implementation:

CSV Files:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv', encoding='utf-8', low_memory=False)

Excel Spreadsheets:

df = pd.read_excel('data.xlsx', sheet_name='Sheet1', engine='openpyxl')

SQL Databases:

import sqlalchemy
engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine('postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db')
df = pd.read_sql('SELECT * FROM table', engine)

JSON APIs:

import requests
response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/data')
df = pd.json_normalize(response.json())

HTML Scraping:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
# Scrape and convert to DataFrame

Real-time Data Streams:

import kafka
# Stream processing with Apache Kafka

Best Practices:

Implement data validation during ingestion
Use connection pooling for database connections
Handle API rate limits and retries
Implement data lineage tracking

2. Validate Data

Purpose: Ensure data quality, consistency, and integrity before processing.

Detailed Implementation:

def validate_data(df):
    # Check data schema
    expected_columns = ['col1', 'col2', 'col3']
    missing_cols = set(expected_columns) - set(df.columns)
    if missing_cols:
        raise ValueError(f"Missing columns: {missing_cols}")
    
    # Check data types
    type_validation = {
        'col1': 'int64',
        'col2': 'float64',
        'col3': 'object'
    }
    for col, expected_type in type_validation.items():
        if df[col].dtype != expected_type:
            print(f"Warning: {col} has type {df[col].dtype}, expected {expected_type}")
    
    # Check for null values
    null_counts = df.isnull().sum()
    if null_counts.any():
        print("Null values found:", null_counts[null_counts > 0])
    
    # Check data ranges
    if 'age' in df.columns:
        if (df['age'] < 0).any() or (df['age'] > 120).any():
            print("Warning: Age values outside expected range")
    
    return True

Validation Checks:

Schema compliance (column names, data types)
Data completeness (null value analysis)
Data range validation (outlier detection)
Business rule validation
Referential integrity checks

3. Data Cleaning (Preprocessing)

Purpose: Handle missing values, duplicates, and data type conversions to ensure data quality.

Detailed Implementation:

Handle Missing Values:

# Drop rows with any missing values
df_clean = df.dropna()

# Fill missing values with mean/median/mode
df['age'].fillna(df['age'].mean(), inplace=True)
df['category'].fillna(df['category'].mode()[0], inplace=True)

# Forward fill for time series
df['value'].fillna(method='ffill', inplace=True)

# Custom filling strategy
def fill_missing_salary(df):
    df['salary'] = df.groupby('department')['salary'].transform(
        lambda x: x.fillna(x.median())
    )
    return df

Fix Duplicate Records:

# Remove exact duplicates
df_clean = df.drop_duplicates()

# Remove duplicates based on specific columns
df_clean = df.drop_duplicates(subset=['id', 'email'])

# Keep first/last occurrence
df_clean = df.drop_duplicates(subset=['id'], keep='first')

Convert Data Types:

# Convert to specific data types
df['age'] = df['age'].astype('int64')
df['price'] = df['price'].astype('float64')
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])

# Handle categorical data
df['category'] = df['category'].astype('category')

# Convert boolean columns
df['is_active'] = df['is_active'].map({'Yes': True, 'No': False})

Advanced Cleaning Techniques:

# Remove outliers using IQR method
Q1 = df['value'].quantile(0.25)
Q3 = df['value'].quantile(0.75)
IQR = Q3 - Q1
df_clean = df[~((df['value'] < (Q1 - 1.5 * IQR)) | (df['value'] > (Q3 + 1.5 * IQR)))]

# Text cleaning
df['text'] = df['text'].str.strip().str.lower()
df['text'] = df['text'].str.replace(r'[^\w\s]', '', regex=True)

4. Standardize Data

Purpose: Convert data into structured, uniform formats for consistent processing.

Detailed Implementation:

def standardize_data(df):
    # Standardize column names
    df.columns = df.columns.str.lower().str.replace(' ', '_')
    
    # Standardize date formats
    df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'], errors='coerce')
    
    # Standardize text data
    df['name'] = df['name'].str.title()
    df['email'] = df['email'].str.lower()
    
    # Standardize categorical values
    df['status'] = df['status'].str.upper()
    df['status'] = df['status'].replace({'ACTIVE': 'A', 'INACTIVE': 'I'})
    
    # Standardize numerical data
    df['amount'] = df['amount'].round(2)
    
    return df

Standardization Areas:

Column naming conventions (snake_case, camelCase)
Date/time formats (ISO 8601 standard)
Text normalization (case, whitespace, special characters)
Categorical value mapping
Numerical precision and units
Currency and measurement units

5. Data Transformation

Purpose: Scale, normalize, and encode data for machine learning algorithms.

Detailed Implementation:

Feature Scaling:

from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler, MinMaxScaler, RobustScaler

# Standard scaling (mean=0, std=1)
scaler = StandardScaler()
df['scaled_value'] = scaler.fit_transform(df[['value']])

# Min-Max scaling (0-1 range)
minmax_scaler = MinMaxScaler()
df['minmax_value'] = minmax_scaler.fit_transform(df[['value']])

# Robust scaling (median and IQR)
robust_scaler = RobustScaler()
df['robust_value'] = robust_scaler.fit_transform(df[['value']])

Categorical Encoding:

# One-hot encoding
df_encoded = pd.get_dummies(df, columns=['category'], prefix='cat')

# Label encoding
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder
le = LabelEncoder()
df['category_encoded'] = le.fit_transform(df['category'])

# Target encoding (for high cardinality categoricals)
def target_encode(df, cat_col, target_col):
    target_mean = df.groupby(cat_col)[target_col].mean()
    df[f'{cat_col}_target_encoded'] = df[cat_col].map(target_mean)
    return df

Feature Creation:

# Using .apply() for complex transformations
def calculate_age_group(age):
    if age < 18:
        return 'Minor'
    elif age < 65:
        return 'Adult'
    else:
        return 'Senior'

df['age_group'] = df['age'].apply(calculate_age_group)

# Using .map() for simple mappings
status_mapping = {'A': 'Active', 'I': 'Inactive', 'P': 'Pending'}
df['status_description'] = df['status'].map(status_mapping)

# Create derived features
df['total_amount'] = df['quantity'] * df['unit_price']
df['days_since_created'] = (pd.Timestamp.now() - df['created_date']).dt.days

Data Merging and Joining:

# Inner join
merged_df = pd.merge(df1, df2, on='common_column', how='inner')

# Left join
merged_df = pd.merge(df1, df2, on='common_column', how='left')

# Concatenate DataFrames
combined_df = pd.concat([df1, df2], ignore_index=True)

# Complex joins with multiple conditions
merged_df = pd.merge(df1, df2, left_on=['col1', 'col2'], right_on=['col3', 'col4'])

6. Curate Data

Purpose: Organize datasets for efficient feature engineering and model training.

Detailed Implementation:

def curate_data(df):
    # Create data versioning
    import hashlib
    data_hash = hashlib.md5(df.to_string().encode()).hexdigest()
    
    # Save curated dataset
    curated_path = f'data/processed/dataset_v{data_hash[:8]}.parquet'
    df.to_parquet(curated_path, index=False)
    
    # Create data profile
    profile = {
        'shape': df.shape,
        'columns': list(df.columns),
        'dtypes': df.dtypes.to_dict(),
        'null_counts': df.isnull().sum().to_dict(),
        'unique_counts': df.nunique().to_dict()
    }
    
    # Save metadata
    import json
    with open(f'data/processed/metadata_v{data_hash[:8]}.json', 'w') as f:
        json.dump(profile, f, indent=2, default=str)
    
    return df, curated_path

Data Curation Best Practices:

Implement data versioning and lineage tracking
Create comprehensive data profiles and documentation
Organize data into logical partitions (by date, category, etc.)
Implement data quality checks and validation rules
Create data dictionaries and schema documentation

🔹 Phase 2: Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)

print(f"\nMemory Usage: {df.memory_usage(deep=True).sum() / 1024**2:.2f} MB")

# Missing values analysis
missing_data = df.isnull().sum()
missing_percent = (missing_data / len(df)) * 100
missing_df = pd.DataFrame({
    'Missing Count': missing_data,
    'Missing Percentage': missing_percent
})
print("\nMissing Values Analysis:")
print(missing_df[missing_df['Missing Count'] > 0])

fig, axes = plt.subplots(2, 3, figsize=(15, 10))
axes = axes.ravel()

for i, col in enumerate(numerical_cols[:6]):
    df[col].hist(bins=30, ax=axes[i], alpha=0.7)
    axes[i].set_title(f'Distribution of {col}')
    axes[i].set_xlabel(col)
    axes[i].set_ylabel('Frequency')

plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

# Categorical columns analysis
categorical_cols = df.select_dtypes(include=['object', 'category']).columns
for col in categorical_cols:
    print(f"\n{col} value counts:")
    print(df[col].value_counts().head(10))
    print(f"Unique values: {df[col].nunique()}")

Correlation Analysis:

# Correlation matrix
correlation_matrix = df[numerical_cols].corr()
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
sns.heatmap(correlation_matrix, annot=True, cmap='coolwarm', center=0)
plt.title('Correlation Matrix')
plt.show()

# Pairwise correlations
high_corr_pairs = []
for i in range(len(correlation_matrix.columns)):
    for j in range(i+1, len(correlation_matrix.columns)):
        corr_val = correlation_matrix.iloc[i, j]
        if abs(corr_val) > 0.7:  # High correlation threshold
            high_corr_pairs.append((
                correlation_matrix.columns[i],
                correlation_matrix.columns[j],
                corr_val
            ))

print("High Correlation Pairs:")
for pair in high_corr_pairs:
    print(f"{pair[0]} - {pair[1]}: {pair[2]:.3f}")

Outlier Detection:

def detect_outliers_iqr(df, column):
    Q1 = df[column].quantile(0.25)
    Q3 = df[column].quantile(0.75)
    IQR = Q3 - Q1
    lower_bound = Q1 - 1.5 * IQR
    upper_bound = Q3 + 1.5 * IQR
    outliers = df[(df[column] < lower_bound) | (df[column] > upper_bound)]
    return outliers

# Detect outliers in numerical columns
outlier_summary = {}
for col in numerical_cols:
    outliers = detect_outliers_iqr(df, col)
    outlier_summary[col] = {
        'count': len(outliers),
        'percentage': (len(outliers) / len(df)) * 100
    }

print("Outlier Summary:")
for col, info in outlier_summary.items():
    print(f"{col}: {info['count']} outliers ({info['percentage']:.2f}%)")

8. Data Selection & Filtering

Purpose: Create targeted datasets for specific analysis and model training.

Detailed Implementation:

Data Selection Techniques:

# Select specific columns
selected_columns = ['age', 'income', 'education', 'target']
df_selected = df[selected_columns]

# Select rows based on conditions
df_filtered = df[df['age'] > 18]
df_high_income = df[df['income'] > df['income'].quantile(0.8)]

# Multiple conditions
df_filtered = df[(df['age'] > 18) & (df['income'] > 50000) & (df['education'] == 'Bachelor')]

# Using .loc[] for label-based selection
df_subset = df.loc[df['category'] == 'A', ['col1', 'col2', 'col3']]

# Using .iloc[] for position-based selection
df_subset = df.iloc[0:100, 0:5]  # First 100 rows, first 5 columns

# Select rows by index
df_subset = df.loc[['row1', 'row2', 'row3']]

# Select columns by position

df_with_nulls = df[df.isnull().any(axis=1)]

# Filter by string patterns
df_email_domains = df[df['email'].str.contains('@gmail.com', na=False)]

# Filter by date ranges
df_recent = df[df['date'] >= '2023-01-01']
df_last_month = df[(df['date'] >= '2023-11-01') & (df['date'] < '2023-12-01')]

    df['target'], 
    test_size=0.2, 
    random_state=42,
    stratify=df['target']
)

# Systematic sampling

    return df.iloc[::step]

df_systematic = systematic_sampling(df, 10)  # Every 10th row

# Cluster sampling
def cluster_sampling(df, cluster_col, n_clusters):
    clusters = df[cluster_col].unique()
    selected_clusters = np.random.choice(clusters, n_clusters, replace=False)

🔹 Phase 3: Feature Engineering

10. Feature Engineering (Raw → Useful)

Purpose: Transform raw data into meaningful features that improve model performance.

Detailed Implementation:

Feature Extraction:

# Extract date/time features
df['year'] = df['date'].dt.year
df['month'] = df['date'].dt.month
df['day_of_week'] = df['date'].dt.dayofweek
df['is_weekend'] = df['day_of_week'].isin([5, 6])

# Extract text features
df['text_length'] = df['text'].str.len()
df['word_count'] = df['text'].str.split().str.len()
df['has_special_chars'] = df['text'].str.contains(r'[!@#$%^&*()]', regex=True)

# Extract numerical features
df['age_group'] = pd.cut(df['age'], bins=[0, 18, 35, 50, 65, 100], 
                        labels=['Child', 'Young', 'Middle', 'Senior', 'Elderly'])
df['income_per_person'] = df['household_income'] / df['household_size']
df['bmi'] = df['weight'] / (df['height'] / 100) ** 2

Feature Selection:

from sklearn.feature_selection import SelectKBest, f_classif, mutual_info_classif
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier

# Univariate feature selection
selector = SelectKBest(score_func=f_classif, k=10)
X_selected = selector.fit_transform(X, y)
selected_features = X.columns[selector.get_support()]

# Mutual information
mi_scores = mutual_info_classif(X, y)
mi_df = pd.DataFrame({'feature': X.columns, 'mi_score': mi_scores})
mi_df = mi_df.sort_values('mi_score', ascending=False)

# Feature importance from Random Forest
rf = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100, random_state=42)
rf.fit(X, y)
feature_importance = pd.DataFrame({
    'feature': X.columns,
    'importance': rf.feature_importances_
}).sort_values('importance', ascending=False)

Categorical Variable Handling:

# One-hot encoding
df_encoded = pd.get_dummies(df, columns=['category', 'status'], prefix=['cat', 'stat'])

# Label encoding for ordinal data
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder
le = LabelEncoder()
df['education_encoded'] = le.fit_transform(df['education'])

# Target encoding for high cardinality
def target_encode(df, cat_col, target_col, smoothing=1):
    target_mean = df.groupby(cat_col)[target_col].mean()
    n = df.groupby(cat_col).size()
    global_mean = df[target_col].mean()
    
    smooth = (n * target_mean + smoothing * global_mean) / (n + smoothing)
    return df[cat_col].map(smooth)

df['city_target_encoded'] = target_encode(df, 'city', 'target')

Advanced Feature Engineering:

# Polynomial features
from sklearn.preprocessing import PolynomialFeatures
poly = PolynomialFeatures(degree=2, include_bias=False)
X_poly = poly.fit_transform(X[['age', 'income']])

# Interaction features
df['age_income_interaction'] = df['age'] * df['income']
df['education_income_ratio'] = df['education_encoded'] / df['income']

# Lag features for time series
df['value_lag1'] = df['value'].shift(1)
df['value_lag7'] = df['value'].shift(7)
df['value_rolling_mean'] = df['value'].rolling(window=7).mean()

# Statistical features
df['value_std'] = df.groupby('category')['value'].transform('std')
df['value_mean'] = df.groupby('category')['value'].transform('mean')
df['value_rank'] = df.groupby('category')['value'].rank()

def compare_models(models, X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test):
    results = {}
    
    for name, model in models.items():
        # Train model
        model.fit(X_train, y_train)
        
        # Make predictions
        y_pred = model.predict(X_test)
        y_pred_proba = model.predict_proba(X_test)[:, 1] if hasattr(model, 'predict_proba') else None
        
        # Calculate metrics
        from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, precision_score, recall_score, f1_score, roc_auc_score
        
        results[name] = {
            'accuracy': accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred),
            'precision': precision_score(y_test, y_pred),
            'recall': recall_score(y_test, y_pred),
            'f1_score': f1_score(y_test, y_pred),
            'roc_auc': roc_auc_score(y_test, y_pred_proba) if y_pred_proba is not None else None
        }
    
    return pd.DataFrame(results).T

12. Write Training Code

Purpose: Create robust, reproducible training pipelines with proper error handling and logging.

Detailed Implementation:

Training Pipeline Structure:

import logging
from datetime import datetime
import joblib
import json

class ModelTrainer:
    def __init__(self, config_path):
        with open(config_path, 'r') as f:
            self.config = json.load(f)

Notes:

Each step has its own module under src/steps/ for clarity and testability.
src/pipelines/ stitches steps for end-to-end runs (training, deployment, monitoring).
models/registry/ can hold model metadata and versioned artifacts.
ci/github-actions/ holds CI/CD workflows for linting, tests, builds, and deploys.
