### 6. Model Deployment

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
from pydantic import BaseModel
import joblib
import numpy as np

# Load model
model = joblib.load('model.pkl')
preprocessor = joblib.load('preprocessor.pkl')

app = FastAPI(title="ML Model API", version="1.0.0")

class PredictionInput(BaseModel):
    features: dict

class PredictionOutput(BaseModel):
    prediction: int
    probability: float
    prediction_id: str

@app.post("/predict", response_model=PredictionOutput)
async def predict(input_data: PredictionInput):
    """
    Make prediction using trained model
    """
    try:
        # Convert input to DataFrame
        df = pd.DataFrame([input_data.features])

        # Preprocess
        X = preprocessor.transform(df)

        # Predict
        prediction = model.predict(X)[0]
        probability = model.predict_proba(X)[0][1]

        # Generate prediction ID
        prediction_id = f"pred_{datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d_%H%M%S')}"

        return PredictionOutput(
            prediction=int(prediction),
            probability=float(probability),
            prediction_id=prediction_id
        )

    except Exception as e:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))

@app.get("/health")
async def health_check():
    return {"status": "healthy", "model_loaded": model is not None}
```

## Best Practices

### Data Science

1. ✅ **Reproducibility**: Set random seeds, version data and code
2. ✅ **Documentation**: Document assumptions, decisions, and experiments
3. ✅ **Validation**: Use proper train/val/test splits, cross-validation
4. ✅ **Feature Engineering**: Create domain-specific features
5. ✅ **Model Selection**: Compare multiple algorithms systematically

### MLOps

1. ✅ **Experiment Tracking**: Log all experiments with MLflow/W&B
2. ✅ **Model Versioning**: Version models with metadata
3. ✅ **CI/CD for ML**: Automate training, testing, deployment
4. ✅ **Monitoring**: Track model performance in production
5. ✅ **Data Versioning**: Use DVC or similar tools

### Production

1. ✅ **API Design**: RESTful endpoints with proper validation
2. ✅ **Performance**: Optimize inference latency
3. ✅ **Error Handling**: Graceful degradation and error messages
4. ✅ **Logging**: Comprehensive logging for debugging
5. ✅ **Security**: Input validation, rate limiting, authentication

**Remember**: Good ML is iterative. Start simple, measure everything, and improve systematically.
