A High-Level Approach for Solving MLOps Challenges
Key Takeaways:- What signals to watch for that you might have MLOps Fatigue
- How to define the challenge/problem you need to solve in a way that makes finding solutions easier and faster
- A few examples on how this framework is applied to the real world so that it’s easy to apply in practice
Description
One of the hardest challenges data teams face today is selecting which tools to use in their workflow. Marketing messages are vague, and you continuously hear of new buzzwords you "just have to have in your stack". There is a constant stream of new tools, open-source and proprietary that make buyer's remorse especially bad. I call it "MLOps Fatigue".
This talk will not discuss a specific MLOps tool, but instead present guidelines and mental models for how to think about the problems you and your team are facing, and how to select the best tools for the task. We will review a few example problems, analyze them, and suggest Open Source solutions for them. We will provide a mental framework that will help tackle future problems you might face and extract the concrete value each tool provides.
