The phenomenon of web-based, at-your-door-in-minutes, restaurant food-delivery service is widespread and commonplace nowadays, with various apps and platforms, such as Grubhub or DoorDash, providing diners with an at-home eating experience – look up a restaurant, choose what you want to eat, and your food is on its way. The same can be said about grocery shopping.
In legacy analytical systems such as enterprise data warehouses, the scalability challenges of a system were primarily associated with computational scalability, i.e., the ability of a data platform to handle larger volumes of data in an agile and cost-efficient way.
Gift guides come in all shapes and sizes. There are shopper’s guides for sporting goods and wine, aimed at travelers and crafty types, and offering electronics or candy. Since there is no gift guide we’re aware of for data buyers, this is our chance to create the first such guide. Is your wife, best friend, or dad a nerd? No, not that kind of nerd, not an over-the-counter nerd, a data nerd! If so, this stuff will stuff their stocking but good. Remember Sears’ Wish Book?
Machine learning (ML) model serving refers to the series of steps that allow you to create a service out of a trained model that a system can then ping to receive a relevant prediction output for an end user. These steps typically involve required pre-processing of the input, a prediction request to the model, and relevant post-processing of the model output to apply business logic.
