DETAILS

The path from a functional demo to a production-grade product is where most teams fail, especially in the age of AI, where prototypes come together faster, but taking them to production demands new rigor in data, reliability, & cost control. This masterclass covers the technical & organizational gaps between a working prototype & production-grade software.

You have a working prototype & you're ready to ship it out. What comes next?

The path from a functional demo to a production-grade product is where most teams fail, especially in the age of AI, where prototypes come together faster, but taking them to production demands new rigor in data, reliability, & cost control.

This masterclass covers the technical & organizational gaps between a working prototype & production-grade software.

No theory. Just case studies, demos, & a framework from 20 years of shipping products that handle real traffic, real data, & real users.

What You Will Learn
Why Prototypes Stall: Identify the common failure points when moving from a demo to supporting real-world traffic, data, & users, including AI-specific pitfalls.
The Production-Ready Framework: Learn the systems that separate a project from a product, including instrumentation, user learning loops, & measurability, with AI readiness baked in.
Real-World Patterns: See demos & architectural examples from actual products that made the prototype-to-production journey.
Building the Right Team: Understand how to structure your team & allocate resources for the next phase of development, when to bring in AI/ML expertise & DevOps, & how to align incentives.
Speed with Control (AI): Where AI truly accelerates engineering (code, testing, scaffolding) & where you'll need extra guardrails-evaluation, observability, versioning, & token/cost management.
Who Should Attend
This session is for Builders who have a working prototype & are stuck
Founders with validated prototypes ready to scale
Product Managers or Innovation Teams with experiments that are ready to become real products
Technical Leads responsible for production readiness
What You'll Get
The Prototype to Production readiness guide & checklist to turn your project into a reliable, scalable product.

Led By
Rakesh Raju, CTO at 1Huddle, Founder of Codewalla. Two decades shipping & scaling software at Disney, Microsoft, RealNetworks, & venture-backed startups.
