Build Batch and Real-Time Prediction Services with Python
You should not need to be an expert in Kubernetes or cloud computing to build an end-to-end service that makes intelligent decisions with the help of a ML model. Serverless Machine Learning (ML) makes it easy to build a system that uses ML models to make predictions.
With Serverless ML, you do not need to install, upgrade, or operate any systems. You only need to be able to write Python programs that can be scheduled to run as pipelines. The features and models your pipelines produce are managed by a serverless feature store / model registry. We will also show you how to build a UI for your prediction service by writing Python and some HTML.
Read this article for an overview on serverless machine learning.

You have taken a course in machine learning (ML) and you can program in Python. You want to take the next step beyond training models on static datasets in notebooks. You want to be able to build a prediction service around your model. Maybe you work at an Enterprise and want to demonstrate your models’ value to stakeholders in the stakeholder's own language. Maybe you want to include ML in an existing application or system.
You don’t need any operations experience beyond using GitHub and writing Python code. You will learn the essentials of MLOps: versioning artifacts, testing artifacts, validating artifacts, and monitoring and upgrading running systems. You will work with raw and live data - you will need to engineer features in pipelines. You will learn how to select, extract, compute, and transform features.
No. You will become a serveless machine learning engineer without having to pay to run your serverless pipelines or to manage your features/models/user-interface. We will use Github Actions and Hopsworks that both have generous time-unlimited free tiers.

Self-paced
- Python environment include a notebook (Jupyter or Colaboratory)
- https://github.com account
- https://hopsworks.ai account
You can write, test, debug, and train your models in some Python IDE. We will focus on notebooks and Python programs. You can use Jupyter notebooks or Colaboratory.
Github to manage your code, GitHub Actions to run your workflows, and Github Pages for your user interface for non-interactive applications. Github Actions offers a free tier of 500 MB and 2,000 minutes to run your pipelines. https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-actions/about-billing-for-github-actions
Hopsworks.ai has a free tier of 10 GB of storage.
