★ Lecture Abstract

Building Cloud-based, Event-driven Machine Learning Products

Zbigniew Jerzak (SAP Research)

In this talk we are going to present the process of building a cloud-based, event driven, machine learning product. The talk will cover all stages of building such a product from the initial idea, through the design, implementation and up to operations. We will use an existing micro-services-based document processing system, which is in production at the SAP and is used by over a thousand customers, as a use case. We will also cover lessons learned that touch on both the engineering as well as process aspects and tradeoffs of building a such product.
