Deploying Python Machine Learning Models with Apache Spark-Brandon Hamric & Alex Meyer (Eventbrite)

Deploying machine learning models seems like it should be a relatively easy task. Take your model and pass it some features in production. The reality is that the code written during the prototyping phase of model development doesn’t always work when applied at scale or on “real” data. This talk will explore 1) common problems at the intersection of data science and data engineering 2) how you can structure your code so there is minimal friction between prototyping and production, and 3) how you can use Apache Spark to run predictions on your models in batch or streaming contexts.

You will take away how to address some of productionizing issues that data scientists and data engineers face while deploying machine learning models at scale and a better understanding of how to work collaboratively to minimize disparity between prototyping and productizing.
