  • Speeding up the art of ML model deployment
  1. The value of redeployed models

    • Modelling and eng part to ship it ⇒ what happens when we have new features, or drift, etc
    • Any model that you train today will be obsolete tomorrow. By how much will it be obsolete?

      • very operational work to bring value
  3. Improving model release processes

    • another trick to de-risk the pipeline is to leverage shadow mode

      • deploy our prod model and also shadow, to observe how it behaves in production
    • Schedule it
