MLOps is an emerging engineering discipline that combines ML, DevOps, and Data Engineering to provide automation and infrastructure to speed up the AI/ML development lifecycle and bring models to production faster. It is one of the widely discussed topics in the ML practitioner community.
In this track, we will explore the best practices and innovations the ML community is developing and creating. Key areas of focus include declarative ML systems, distributed model training, scalable and low latency model inference, and ML observability to protect the downsides and ROI.

Fabricator: End-to-End Declarative Feature Engineering Platform
Monday Oct 24 / 11:50AM PDT
At Doordash, the last year has seen a surge in applications of machine learning to various product verticals in our growing business. However, with this growth, our data scientists have had increasing bottlenecks in their development cycle because of our existing feature engineering process.

An Open Source Infrastructure for PyTorch
Monday Oct 24 / 01:40PM PDT
In this talk we’ll go over tools and techniques to deploy PyTorch in production. The PyTorch organization maintains and supports open source tools for efficient inference like pytorch/serve, job management pytorch/torchx and streaming datasets like pytorch/data.

Declarative Machine Learning: A Flexible, Modular and Scalable Approach for Building Production ML Models
Monday Oct 24 / 04:10PM PDT
Building ML solutions from scratch is challenging because of a variety of reasons: the long development cycles of writing low level machine learning code and the fast pace of state-of-the-art ML methods to name a few.
