Using Amazon SageMaker to Build a Machine Learning Platform with Just Three Engineers - NerdWallet

This looks like a ton of special sauce, right? Turns out it isn't really all that much. Here's what we got for free from our existing build/deploy tooling: Furthermore, here's what we got for free with SageMaker, instead of using just another general compute cloud like AWS Batch: Finally, note that we essentially use Github comments as the first GUI for the data scientist – which absolves us from having to build an admin tool right away. Extending this, we could probably push notifications about the training job to Slack, buying even more time before we need to build and maintain a custom admin interface. Leveraging these great external – and internal – tools is how we applied our guiding principle and managed to build the platform with just 3 engineers.
