Kafka-native Machine Learning and Model Deployment

(Originally posted on Kai Waehner’s blog: “Kafka-native Machine Learning and Model Deployment”)

Apache Kafka became the de facto standard for event streaming across the globe and industries. Machine Learning (ML) includes model training on historical data and model deployment for scoring and predictions. While training is mostly batch, scoring usually requires real-time capabilities at scale and reliability. Apache Kafka plays a key role in modern machine learning infrastructures. The next-generation architecture leverages a Kafka-native…
