Machine Learning for Streaming Data with Python

By: Joos Korstanje

Overview of this book

Streaming data is the new top technology to watch out for in the field of data science and machine learning. As business needs become more demanding, many use cases require real-time analysis as well as real-time machine learning. This book will help you to get up to speed with data analytics for streaming data and focus strongly on adapting machine learning and other analytics to the case of streaming data. You will first learn about the architecture for streaming and real-time machine learning. Next, you will look at the state-of-the-art frameworks for streaming data like River. Later chapters will focus on various industrial use cases for streaming data like Online Anomaly Detection and others. As you progress, you will discover various challenges and learn how to mitigate them. In addition to this, you will learn best practices that will help you use streaming data to generate real-time insights. By the end of this book, you will have gained the confidence you need to stream data in your machine learning models.

Building a simple API on AWS

In order to do something practical, let's build a super simple API on AWS. This will allow you to understand how different services can communicate together. It can also serve as a good testing environment for putting the examples in the rest of the book to the test.

You will use the following components of the AWS framework.

API Gateway in AWS

This is an AWS service that handles API requests for you. You specify the type of request that you expect to receive, and you specify the action that should be taken upon reception of a request. When building an API using API Gateway, this will automatically generate an IP address or link to which you can send your API requests.

Lambda in AWS

Lambda is a serverless execution environment for code. This means that you can write Python code, plug it to the API Gateway, and not think about how to set up servers, firewalls, and all that. This is great for decoupling systems, and it is fast enough for...
