PyData Chicago: Building an MLOps platform at HelloFresh, by Dr. Erik Widman

Discover how HelloFresh built an end-to-end MLOps platform with Dr. Erik Widman's PyData Chicago talk. Topics include automation, tool selection, platform design, and the 10 core categories of MLOps solutions.

Key takeaways
  1. MLOps is a systematic approach to deploying and maintaining machine learning models in production.
  2. HelloFresh created an end-to-end MLOps platform focusing on automation, portability, and scalability.
  3. Mapping the maturity of MLOps within the organization revealed consistent tooling, lack of standards, and scaling issues.
  4. The HelloFresh MLOps platform aims to address these pain points in a comprehensive manner.
  5. MLOps solutions address machine learning operations throughout the entire project life cycle.
  6. A scientific and structured tool selection process can simplify communication with C-level executives.
  7. An MLOps platform should offer flexibility and configurability, while providing simple and intuitive API classes.
  8. Consideration of user roles and feedback is essential to designing an effective MLOps platform.
  9. Automation of 80% of model creation processes is desirable, with the remaining 20% being simple to create.
  10. The 10 core categories of an effective MLOps platform are: data storage, model training, model validation, deployment, model monitoring, infrastructure, orchestration, endpoints and monitoring, integration layers, and simplification techniques.
