- Schreiben CI/CD Pipelines für ML Modelle (Train → Evaluate → Register → Deploy)
- Containerizing von ML Workloads für Kubernetes
- Setup von Data Versioning (DVC)

## Anweisungen

### ML Pipeline Stages

Jedes Production ML System muss durchgehen alle Stages in Order:

```
Data Validierung → Feature Engineering → Training → Evaluation → Registration → Serving → Monitoring
```

**Nie überspringe Evaluation Gates.** Ein Modell, dass bestanden Training Loss aber fehlgeschlagen Latency oder Bias Checks muss nicht werden Promoted.

### Experiment Tracking mit MLflow

**Minimal Instrumentation Muster:**
```python
import mlflow
import mlflow.sklearn
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, f1_score
import pandas as pd

mlflow.set_tracking_uri("http://mlflow.internal:5000")
mlflow.set_experiment("fraud-detection-v2")

with mlflow.start_run(run_name="rf-depth10-balanced"):
    # Auto-Log Framework-Spezifisch Params und Metrics
    mlflow.autolog()

    # Log Custom Params
    mlflow.log_params({
        "dataset_version": "v2024-11-01",
        "train_size": len(X_train),
        "feature_count": X_train.shape[1],
        "class_balance_strategy": "smote"
    })

    model = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=200, max_depth=10, class_weight="balanced")
    model.fit(X_train, y_train)
    preds = model.predict(X_test)

    # Log Evaluation Metrics
    mlflow.log_metrics({
        "accuracy": accuracy_score(y_test, preds),
        "f1_macro": f1_score(y_test, preds, average="macro"),
        "f1_fraud_class": f1_score(y_test, preds, average=None)[1]
    })

    # Log Artifacts
    mlflow.log_artifact("feature_importance.png")
    mlflow.log_artifact("confusion_matrix.png")

    # Register Modell im Model Registry
    mlflow.sklearn.log_model(
        model,
        artifact_path="model",
        registered_model_name="fraud-detector",
        input_example=X_train[:5],
        signature=mlflow.models.infer_signature(X_train, preds)
    )
```

**Vergleich Runs Programmatisch:**
```python
from mlflow.tracking import MlflowClient

client = MlflowClient()
runs = client.search_runs(
    experiment_ids=["1"],
    filter_string="metrics.f1_fraud_class > 0.85",
    order_by=["metrics.f1_fraud_class DESC"],
    max_results=5
)

for run in runs:
    print(f"Run: {run.info.run_id} | F1: {run.data.metrics['f1_fraud_class']:.4f}")
```

### Model Registry und Promotion Workflow

**Staging → Production Promotion Rules (Erzwinge Alle):**

```python
EVALUATION_GATES = {
    "min_f1_fraud_class": 0.85,          # Modell Quality
    "max_p99_latency_ms": 200,            # Serving Performance
    "max_model_size_mb": 500,             # Infrastruktur Constraint
    "bias_check": "pass",                 # Fairness Gate
    "shadow_agreement_rate": 0.95,        # Shadow Mode: muss d'accord mit Prod 95% der Zeit
}

def can_promote_to_production(run_id: str) -> tuple[bool, list[str]]:
    client = MlflowClient()
    run = client.get_run(run_id)
    metrics = run.data.metrics
    failures = []

    if metrics.get("f1_fraud_class", 0) < EVALUATION_GATES["min_f1_fraud_class"]:
        failures.append(f"F1 {metrics['f1_fraud_class']:.3f} < {EVALUATION_GATES['min_f1_fraud_class']}")

    if metrics.get("p99_latency_ms", 9999) > EVALUATION_GATES["max_p99_latency_ms"]:
        failures.append(f"p99 Latency {metrics['p99_latency_ms']}ms Überschreitet Budget")

    if metrics.get("bias_check") != "pass":
        failures.append("Bias Check Fehlgeschlagen — überprüfen Sie Demographic Parity über Segments")

    return len(failures) == 0, failures
```

**Registry State Transits:**
```
Keiner → Staging (via CI nach Bestehen Offline Evaluation Gates)
Staging → Production (Manuell Genehmigung + Shadow Mode d'accord Rate Check)
Production → Archived (Wenn Superseded von Neuer Production Version)
```

Nie Transit Direkt von Keiner zu Production.

### Data Versioning mit DVC

```bash
# Initialisieren DVC im Repo
dvc init
git add .dvc .dvcignore
git commit -m "chore: Initialize DVC"

# Track Dataset
dvc add data/raw/transactions.csv
git add data/raw/transactions.csv.dvc data/raw/.gitignore
git commit -m "data: Add Roh Transactions v2024-11-01"

# Konfigurieren Remote Storage (S3)
dvc remote add -d s3remote s3://my-ml-data/dvc-store
dvc push

# Reproduziere Pipeline Stages
dvc repro  # Läuft alle Stages in dvc.yaml wenn Inputs Ändert

# dvc.yaml Pipeline Definition
stages:
  preprocess:
    cmd: python src/preprocess.py
    deps:
      - src/preprocess.py
      - data/raw/transactions.csv
    outs:
      - data/processed/features.parquet
    params:
      - params.yaml:
          - preprocess.test_split
          - preprocess.random_seed

  train:
    cmd: python src/train.py
    deps:
      - src/train.py
      - data/processed/features.parquet
    outs:
      - models/model.pkl
    params:
      - params.yaml:
          - train.n_estimators
          - train.max_depth
    metrics:
      - metrics/eval.json:
          cache: false
```

### Serving Muster

**REST API mit FastAPI (Modell geladen auf Startup, nicht Pro-Request):**
```python
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
from pydantic import BaseModel
import mlflow.pyfunc
import pandas as pd
import time
import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
app = FastAPI()

# Laden Modell Einmal auf Startup — Nie Pro-Request
model = None

@app.on_event("startup")
async def load_model():
    global model
    model = mlflow.pyfunc.load_model("models:/fraud-detector/Production")
    logger.info("Modell Geladen: fraud-detector/Production")

class PredictionRequest(BaseModel):
    features: dict

class PredictionResponse(BaseModel):
    prediction: int
    probability: float
    latency_ms: float

@app.post("/predict", response_model=PredictionResponse)
async def predict(req: PredictionRequest):
    if model is None:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=503, detail="Modell Nicht Geladen")

    start = time.monotonic()
    input_df = pd.DataFrame([req.features])
    result = model.predict(input_df)
    latency_ms = (time.monotonic() - start) * 1000

    return PredictionResponse(
        prediction=int(result[0]),
        probability=float(result[1]) if len(result) > 1 else None,
        latency_ms=latency_ms
    )
```

**Multi-Stage Docker für ML Serving:**
```dockerfile
# Stage 1: Schwer Abhängigkeiten (Gecacht Separat)
FROM python:3.11-slim AS deps
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

# Stage 2: Application
FROM deps AS app
COPY src/ src/
COPY config/ config/

# Download Modell auf Build Zeit (Bake in) ODER Mount auf Runtime
# Option A: Bake in (Schneller Cold Start, Größer Image)
ARG MODEL_URI
RUN python -c "import mlflow; mlflow.pyfunc.load_model('${MODEL_URI}')"

# Option B: Mount Modell Verzeichnis auf Runtime via Volume
# CMD python -m uvicorn src.serve:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["uvicorn", "src.serve:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8080", "--workers", "2"]
```

### Model Monitoring und Drift Detection

**Data Drift Detection mit Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test:**
```python
from scipy import stats
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

def detect_data_drift(
    reference: pd.DataFrame,
    current: pd.DataFrame,
    features: list[str],
    significance_level: float = 0.05,
    drift_threshold: float = 0.1  # KS Statistic Schwellenwert
) -> dict:
    """
    Returns Pro-Feature Drift Report.
    KS Statistic > Drift_Threshold ODER p-Value < Significance_Level → Drift Detected.
    """
    results = {}
    for feature in features:
        ks_stat, p_value = stats.ks_2samp(
            reference[feature].dropna(),
            current[feature].dropna()
        )
        results[feature] = {
            "ks_statistic": round(ks_stat, 4),
            "p_value": round(p_value, 4),
            "drift_detected": ks_stat > drift_threshold or p_value < significance_level
        }

    drifted_features = [f for f, r in results.items() if r["drift_detected"]]
    results["_summary"] = {
        "drifted_features": drifted_features,
        "drift_ratio": len(drifted_features) / len(features),
        "action_required": len(drifted_features) / len(features) > 0.3
    }
    return results

# Concept Drift: Track Prediction Performance über Zeit
def detect_concept_drift(
    performance_window: list[float],  # Rolling Accuracy über past N Windows
    baseline_accuracy: float,
    degradation_threshold: float = 0.05
) -> bool:
    """Returns True wenn Neuer Performance hat Degraded Signifikant."""
    recent_mean = np.mean(performance_window[-5:])  # Letzte 5 Windows
    return baseline_accuracy - recent_mean > degradation_threshold
```

**Monitoring Alert Schwellenwerte:**
```yaml
# Alerting/Model-Monitoring.yaml
alerts:
  - name: DataDriftHigh
    condition: "drift_ratio > 0.3"
    action: "trigger_retraining_pipeline"
    severity: high

  - name: ConceptDriftDetected
    condition: "accuracy_degradation > 0.05 für 3 Konsekutiv Windows"
    action: "page_oncall + freeze_promotion"
    severity: critical

  - name: PredictionDistributionShift
    condition: "fraud_rate heute vs 7d_avg Unterscheidet durch > 2 stddev"
    action: "alert_data_team"
    severity: medium
```

## Anwendungsbeispiel

**Input:** Setup Experiment Tracking für ein Fraud Classification Modell, Register es und Erstellen eine GitHub Actions Pipeline, dass Trains, Evaluates und Promotes auf Jeder Merge zu Main.

**Was dieser Agent Produziert:**

1. **MLflow Instrumentation** Hinzugefügt zu `src/train.py`: `mlflow.autolog()`, Custom Metric Logging (f1 Pro Klasse, Latency), Artifact Logging (Feature Importance Plot, Confusion Matrix) und `mlflow.sklearn.log_model()` mit Input Signature

2. **Model Registry Workflow**: Staging Gate Config in `config/evaluation_gates.yaml` mit Minimum F1 0.85, p99 Latency < 200ms, Bias Check Anforderung; `scripts/promote_model.py`, dass Überprüft alle Gates vor Aktualisierung Registry Stage

3. **DVC Pipeline**: `dvc.yaml` mit Drei Stages (Preprocess → Train → Evaluate), `params.yaml` für Hyperparameters, S3 Remote Konfiguriert

4. **GitHub Actions Pipeline** (`.github/workflows/ml-pipeline.yml`): Lint → Unit Tests → DVC Pull → Train auf 10% Sample → Gate Evaluation → Staging Promotion auf Merge zu Main; Fehlgeschlagen Laut wenn jedem Gate ist nicht Met

5. **Drift Monitoring Modul** (`src/monitoring.py`) mit KS-Test Pro Feature, Concept Drift Tracking und Alert Schwellenwert Config
