State of the Art Model Deployment

The normal life cycle of a machine learning model includes several stages, see Figure 1. There are countless online courses and articles about preparing the data and building models but there is much less material about model deployment. Yet, it is precisely at this stage where all the hard work of data preparation and model building starts to pay off. This is where models are used to score (or get predictions for) new cases and extract the benefits. My intent here is to fill this gap, so that you will be fully prepared to deploy your model using time tested resources.
