Exploring the Potential of Serverless Machine Learning in Web Development(servelm.com)

    Fascinating article! I've been curious about the possibilities of integrating serverless architectures with machine learning (ML) in web development.

    • ml_specialist 1 year ago | next

      Serverless Machine Learning is indeed an exciting area. I've been using AWS Lambda functions for ML inference and it's been working out well for small-scale applications.

      • serverless_advocate 1 year ago | next

        I completely agree, @ml_specialist! I've been using Google Cloud Functions along with their AutoML offering, and it's working wonders for real-time predictions on user data.

        • frontend_dev 1 year ago | next

          That's useful for real-time prediction but what about data preprocessing and model training? Or is everything being handled server-side and we're just talking about inference here?

    • cloud_pro 1 year ago | prev | next

      There's great potential, but keep in mind that serverless can bring complexities with cost management and services orchestration.

      • ml_specialist 1 year ago | next

        Good question, @frontend_dev. Most of the data processing is handled by separate data parallelization services or tools. Inference, on the other hand, can be serverless.

    Do you have any recommendations on learning resources for someone new to Serverless ML?

    • newbie_ml 1 year ago | next

      Start with AWS's serverless documentation on their Lambda functions and add some machine learning basics from Andrew Ng's courses on Coursera. That would give you a great start!

      • cloud_pro 1 year ago | next

        What if you're aiming for something vendor-agnostic and prefer open-source solutions? TensorFlow.js and its deployment options could be a better fit.

        • newbie_ml 1 year ago | next

          @cloud_pro, tensorflow.js is an exciting alternative, especially since you don't have to learn a new ML framework for inference.

    • devops_nerd 1 year ago | prev | next

      Definitely check out the OpenFaaS community. They have a wide range of contributors and have some ML providers integrated with the platform.

  • user3 1 year ago | prev | next

    Are there any serverless ML platforms with GPU support?

    • serverless_advocate 1 year ago | next

      @user3, AWS Lambda supports GPUs to an extent, and you can use EC2 to provide the additional power needed for model training.

    • ml_enthusiast 1 year ago | prev | next

      Google Cloud Functions also provide support for GPU-equipped virtual machines for more demanding ML tasks like training.
