Deploy Resilient AI Microservices with LangChain is a hands-on course that transforms LangChain applications from local prototypes into production-grade systems. You'll decompose monolithic apps into modular services—retrievers, LLM endpoints, and post-processors—connected through gRPC interfaces for scalability and fault isolation. You'll containerize and deploy using Docker and Kubernetes, writing production-ready Dockerfiles with health checks, managing environment variables, and automating rollouts to AWS ECR. Then implement comprehensive observability with OpenTelemetry tracing, Prometheus metrics, and Jaeger/Grafana dashboards to measure latency, throughput, and errors. Finally, you'll master chaos engineering using Chaos Mesh or Gremlin to simulate pod failures, network delays, and resource exhaustion, calculating MTTD and MTTR to measure system resilience.
This course is for developers and MLOps pros ready to scale LangChain apps using Python, APIs, and Docker for production-grade AI systems.
Learners should have basic Python or JavaScript skills, be familiar with REST APIs and Docker fundamentals, and understand general AI or LLM workflows.
By the end of this course, you'll have a fully deployed, observable, fault-tolerant microservice architecture with reusable templates, deployment YAMLs, and a resilience checklist for any AI system. Designed for developers, data engineers, and MLOps professionals ready to make AI systems not just smart, but strong.
This module lays the groundwork for transforming LangChain applications into modular, scalable microservices. You’ll analyze AI workloads to identify natural boundaries-retriever, model, post-processor-and design gRPC interfaces for each. Through hands-on demos, you’ll implement your first LangChain microservice, test its endpoints locally, and visualize how traffic flows between components. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to split, structure, and connect LangChain logic for cloud deployment.
This module takes your LangChain microservices from local code to production-grade deployment. You’ll package components into Docker images, push them to AWS ECR, and orchestrate them in Kubernetes with health checks and scaling policies. Once deployed, you’ll integrate OpenTelemetry tracing and Prometheus metrics to monitor latency, throughput, and reliability. By the end, you’ll not only have your service running in the cloud-but also fully observable and ready for load.
This module is all about testing how your system behaves when things go wrong-and proving it can recover. You’ll introduce failure intentionally using Chaos Mesh or Gremlin, simulating pod crashes, network latency, and resource loss. Then, you’ll capture and interpret resilience metrics such as mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to recover (MTTR). By the end, you’ll document how your LangChain services withstand disruptions and learn to design architectures that fail gracefully and self-heal.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
