# Phase 17: Infrastructure & Production

> Ship AI to the real world. Scale, monitor, optimize.

## Start this phase on GitHub

**Prerequisites:** Phase 11 LLM Engineering and Phase 13 Tools and Protocols.

**First lesson:** [Managed LLM Platforms](01-managed-llm-platforms/)

Run this command from the repository root:

```bash
python3 phases/17-infrastructure-and-production/01-managed-llm-platforms/code/main.py
```

Keep the command, exit code, cost and latency comparison, redundancy uplift,
and a short decision record naming the workload assumptions behind your choice.

**Next action:** Change one workload or SLA input, explain the new choice,
then continue to [Inference Platform Economics](02-inference-platform-economics/).

[cross-phase roadmap](../../ROADMAP.md).
