MLOps London November Talks: Deploying Production-Ready, Data-Centric Agents

About

AI agents are everywhere right now, but turning a cool proof-of-concept into something reliable, observable, and scalable in production is still the hard part. In this talk and live demo, we break down what AI agents are, how they work, and why production readiness is the real differentiator.

Seldon’s Paul Bridi and Antanina Vertsinskaya define agentic systems through a practical customer-support example, then unpack the three biggest hurdles teams hit on the road to production: design & build, observability, and deployment at scale. You’ll also see a real-time Kubernetes demo of a marketing AI agent built with Seldon Core and the LLM Module, featuring tool-calling, memory, and an inference pipeline designed to handle real workloads.

If you’re building agents and wondering how to make them production-ready, this session is for you.

Learnings
  • What makes an application “agentic” (goals, tools, reasoning, memory)

  • Where frameworks like LangChain help, and where they fall short in production

  • Operational vs. performance monitoring for LLM apps

  • How Core 2 enables modular, data-centric inference graphs with Kafka under the hood

  • A full live deployment of an agent pipeline to Kubernetes

  • Observability in practice using Kafka UI and Grafana/Prometheus

  • What’s next: Python-first agent building, better UI, native MCP support, and reusable guardrails

If you’re experimenting with agents and wondering how to make them real, this one’s for you.
