Become a Forward Deployment Engineer
Master enterprise AI deployment from beginner to expert — Python, Kubernetes, LLMs, agents, and production-grade delivery.
The path to FDE-certified
Six domains, taught in order, each building on the last — so you leave with one coherent skill set, not a pile of disconnected tutorials.
- 1
Python & FastAPI Foundations
Async services, SQLAlchemy, and the engineering fundamentals every FDE needs.
- 2
Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps
AWS/Azure/GCP, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines for shipping enterprise software.
- 3
Kubernetes & Containers
Docker, Kubernetes, Helm — deploying and operating workloads at scale.
- 4
LLMs, Prompting & RAG
Model behavior, retrieval-augmented generation, and pgvector-backed pipelines.
- 5
AI Agents
Tool use, evaluation, and cost/latency optimization for agentic workflows.
- 6
Production AI Deployment
Observability, incident response, and a capstone deploying a real AI system.
Built for what the job actually needs
Early feedback from engineers who reviewed the curriculum.
“What I wanted was the thing between 'tutorial' and 'production' — how deployments actually get built at a client site. This is that.”
“The Kubernetes and infra material alone would've saved me months on my last rollout.”
“Most AI courses stop at the demo. This one keeps going until it's actually deployed and monitored.”
