Tuning an engineered system is best
done by following established
methods employed by high-
performing teams like the ones led
by author David Sweet.
This book reveals tests, metrics, and
practical tools that will ensure your
projects are constantly improving,
delivering revenue, and ensuring
user satisfaction.

Tuning Up: From A/B testing to Bayesian optimization is a toolbox of
experimental methods that will keep your software and systems working
at peak performance. You’ll learn to implement tests and techniques that
will boost the effectiveness of machine learning systems, trading
strategies, infrastructure, and more. Each method in this practical guide is
regularly utilized in highly competitive industries like finance and social
media.

This book teaches you proven methods for improving your production
systems. Each method has been tested in industry and is fully explained
using basic math and code written in Python and NumPy. By the time
you’re done, you’ll be able to seamlessly run effective performance
experiments while avoiding common mistakes and pitfalls.
