Algorithmia founder on MLOps' promise and pitfalls

All the sessions from Transform 2021 are available on-demand now. MLOps, a compound of machine learning and information technology operations, sits at the intersection of developer operations (DevOps), data engineering, and machine learning. The goal of MLOps is to get machine learning algorithms into production. While similar to DevOps, MLOps relies on different roles and skill sets: data scientists who specialize in algorithms, mathematics, simulations, and developer tools, and operations administrators who focus on upgrades, production deployments, resource and data management, and security. While there is significant business value to MLOps, implementation can be difficult in the absence of a robust data strategy.
