Deploying a Machine Learning Model as a REST API

As a Python developer and data scientist, I have a desire to build web apps to showcase my work. As much as I like to design the front-end, it becomes very overwhelming to take both machine learning and app development. So, I had to find a solution that could easily integrate my machine learning models with other developers who could build a robust web app better than I can. By building a REST API for my model, I could keep my code separate from other developers. There is a clear division of labor here which is nice for defining responsibilities and prevents me from directly blocking teammates who are not involved with the machine learning aspect of the project.
