August 17: MLOps Versus DevOps: Why Data Makes it Different
We had planned to hold this meetup in-person, but were unable to secure a venue this month, so back to fully virtual. We'll probably have to revert to virtual-only a few times while we fill out a roster of places able to host us.
Thank you to EcoHealth Alliance for providing the Zoom link.
Conversations during the meetup are encouraged in the monthly-meetup-chat channel in the nyhackr slack.
About the Talk:
There is a pressing need for tools and workflows that meet data scientists where they are. This is also a serious business need: How to enable an organization of data scientists, who are not software engineers by training, to build and deploy end-to-end machine learning workflows and applications independently. The new category of tools, frameworks, and processes is often called MLOps.
In this talk, you'll learn why machine learning applications need special treatment in the first place and why we can’t just fold them into existing DevOps best practices. You’ll also explore what a modern technology stack for streamlined ML processes looks like, and how you can start applying the stack in practice today.
