Overview of this book

Machine learning engineers, deep learning specialists, and data engineers encounter various problems when moving deep learning models to a production environment. The main objective of this book is to close the gap between theory and applications by providing a thorough explanation of how to transform various models for deployment and efficiently distribute them with a full understanding of the alternatives. First, you will learn how to construct complex deep learning models in PyTorch and TensorFlow. Next, you will acquire the knowledge you need to transform your models from one framework to the other and learn how to tailor them for specific requirements that deployment environments introduce. The book also provides concrete implementations and associated methodologies that will help you apply the knowledge you gain right away. You will get hands-on experience with commonly used deep learning frameworks and popular cloud services designed for data analytics at scale. Additionally, you will get to grips with the authors’ collective knowledge of deploying hundreds of AI-based services at a large scale. By the end of this book, you will have understood how to convert a model developed for proof of concept into a production-ready application optimized for a particular production setting.

Introduction to DL endpoint monitoring in production

We will start our chapter by describing the benefits of DL model monitoring for a deployed endpoint. Ideally, we should analyze information related to incoming data, outgoing data, model metrics, and traffic. A system that monitors the listed data can provide us with the following benefits.

Firstly, the input and output information for the model can be persisted in a data storage solution (for example, a Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket) for understanding data distributions. Detailed analysis of the incoming data and predictions can help in identifying potential improvements for the downstream process. For example, monitoring the incoming data can help us in identifying bias in model predictions. Models can be biased toward specific feature groups while handling incoming requests. This information can guide us on what we should be considering when we are training a new model for the following deployment. Another benefit comes...
