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.

Summary

Since DL projects involve many iterations of training models and evaluation, efficiently managing experiments, models, and datasets can help the team reach its goal faster. In this chapter, we looked at the two most popular settings for DL project tracking: W&B and MLflow integrated with DVC. Both settings provide built-in support for Keras and PL, which are the two most popular DL frameworks. We have also spent some time describing tools that put more emphasis on dataset versioning: Neptune and Delta Lake. Please keep in mind that you must evaluate each tool thoroughly to select the right tool for your project.

At this point, you are familiar with the frameworks and processes for building a proof of concept and training the necessary DL model. Starting from the next chapter, we will discuss how to scale up by moving individual components of the DL pipeline to the cloud.
