PRODUCTION READY DATA SCIENCE
FROM PROTOTYPING TO PRODUCTION WITH PYTHON
Have you encountered challenges with code organization, reproducibility, or collaboration as your data science projects grow in complexity?

About the book
Maintainability and scalability challenges stem from the gap between exploratory data analysis and production-grade software engineering practices. This book aims to bridge this gap.
The book covers a wide range of essential topics such as version control, dependency management, unit testing, configuration, logging, and many more! Get your copy and start building data workflows your team will trust.
About the author
Khuyen Tran has built her career solving the problem that haunts most data science teams: data science projects that never make it to production. As a data scientist and developer advocate working across startups and enterprise environments, she’s seen talented professionals hit career walls not because they lack technical skills, but because their code can’t scale beyond their laptops. This insight led her to create CodeCut.ai, where thousands of data professionals have learned to transform promising prototypes into production-ready systems that businesses actually depend on.
Khuyen’s teaching philosophy is built on a simple truth: the data scientists who advance fastest aren’t necessarily the most brilliant—they’re the ones who can build systems others trust to handle real-world pressure. Her practical, example-driven approach cuts through academic theory to focus on the engineering skills that separate career-stagnant prototype-builders from the data scientists who ship critical systems and lead high-impact projects. In Production-Ready Data Science, she distills years of experience into a clear roadmap for transforming your messy scripts into scalable, maintainable code that will accelerate your career and increase your impact.

Don’t just take our word for it. – See what actual readers say about the book
“Having followed Khuyen’s work for years, I was thrilled to see her distill industry best practices into one comprehensive resource. Too much data science lives and dies in demos, but her practical snippets on topics like configuration management, logging, and data validation fill in the missing pieces needed for real-world deployment.
This book will help you ship better code, collaborate more effectively, and drive meaningful results.”

“If your attempts at creating more efficient, robust Python projects and code often result in large collections of browser tabs and bookmarks, but not much progress, grab this book and get off the struggle bus.
Khuyen Tran has written a concise, approachable manual for going from good to great with Python.”

“Many people get into data science without any background or training in software engineering. Keen to improve their skills, they consult textbooks or courses, but the information presented can often be overwhelming and feel irrelevant to them.
Here, however, Khuyen presents key concepts in a clear and understandable way. She gives readers enough material such that they can upskill, and does so without overloading them with unneeded details.“
