In your machine learning projects, have you ever wondered “why is model Y is performing better than Z, which dataset was model Y trained on, what are the training parameters I used for model Y, and what are the model performance metrics I used to select model Y?” Does this sound familiar to you? Have you wondered if there is a simple way to answer the questions above? Data science experiments can get complex, which is why you need a system to simplify tracking.

We’re proud to share that Iguazio has been named in Gartner's 2022 Market Guide for Data Science & Machine Learning Engineering Platforms. According to Gartner, “The AI & data science platform market is due to grow to over $10 billion by 2025 at a 21.6% compounded annual growth rate.

As a very hands-on VP of Product, I have many, many conversations with enterprise data science teams who are in the process of developing their MLOps practice. Almost every customer I meet is in some stage of developing an ML-based application. Some are just at the beginning of their journey while others are already heavily invested. It’s fascinating to see how data science, a once commonly used buzz word, is becoming a real and practical strategy for almost any company.

Data science is an important skill, but the hard truth is many organizations aren’t seeing the ROI showing that data science work is making a business impact. Yet today, many organizations are still struggling to adopt a holistic approach centered around creating business value. Instead, they are focused on theoretical work. Here at Iguazio, we recently held a webinar with Noah Gift, founder of Pragmatic A.I. Labs, professor, author and MLOps consultant.

Many organizations are turning to Snowflake to store their enterprise data, as the company has expanded its ecosystem of data science and machine learning initiatives. Snowflake offers many connectors and drivers for various frameworks to get data out of their cloud warehouse. For machine learning workloads, the most attractive of these options is the Snowflake Connector for Python.

First, we collect data from an existing Kafka stream into an Iguazio time series table. Next, we visualize the stream with a Grafana dashboard; and finally, we access the data in a Jupyter notebook using Python code. We use a Nuclio serverless function to “listen” to a Kafka stream and then ingest its events into our time series table. Iguazio gets you started with a template for Kafka to time series.

We’re proud to share that the Iguazio MLOps Platform has been named a leader and outperformer in the GigaOm Radar for Data Science Platforms: Pure-Play Specialist and Startup Vendors report. The GigaOm Radar reports take a forward-looking view of the market and are geared towards IT leaders tasked with evaluating solutions with an eye to the future. GigaOm analysts emphasize the value of innovation and differentiation over incumbent market position.

We are delighted to share that Iguazio has been named along with Microsoft, Databricks, Cloudera, Alteryx and others in Now Tech: AI/ML Platforms, Q1 2022, Forrester’s Overview of the Leading AI/ML Platform Providers, by Mike Gualtieri. This report by Forrester Research looks at AI/ML Platform providers, to help technology executives evaluate and select one based on functionality aligned with their needs.

Machine learning is a practice that is evolving and developing every day. Newfound technologies, inventions and methodologies are being introduced to the community on a daily basis. As ML professionals, we can enrich our knowledge and become better at what we do by constantly learning from each other. But with so many resources out there, it might be overwhelming to choose which ones to stay up-to-date on. So where is the best place to start?

When businesses begin applying machine learning (ML) workflows to their use cases, it’s typically a manual and iterative process—each step in the ML workflow is executed until a suitably trained ML model is deployed to production.
