Hey HN, I'm planning to deploy my ML model in production, and I'm curious what the best practices are for doing this. Any suggestions and tips that you have found to be particularly helpful in your personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Glad to see your interest in ML productions! Firstly, you should ensure that your model is well-tested, both statically and dynamically. Utilize cross-validation, monitor stability, and track model performance in a systematic and quantitative manner.

@HNUser678 Absolutely, I will pay more attention to testing the model.

To add to the previous comment, containerize the ML app and use CI/CD pipelines for consistent deployment. Tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins are commonly used in the ML industry.

@devOpsDave Thanks for your input! Will using GitHub Actions fit my need for CI/CD?
devopsdave 1 year ago next
@MLGuru Yes, GitHub Actions can be an excellent choice for a lightweight CI/CD pipeline.

Limit the number of predictions per second based on the hardware. This will help you avoid overloading the system, ultimately leading to better performance over longer periods.

Adopt Microservices architecture and monitor them with tools like Prometheus and Grafana. Scaling, tracing, and monitoring become more accessible and targeted in a Microservices environment.

Another practice to consider is Explainability. ML model decisions should be explained, and model interpretability should be increased, when necessary.
