Description:

We as Data Scientists might be competent enough to build very complex and intricate Data Science algorithms BUT if there is one skill that most of us lack, it’s deployment. And unless deployed, our model is as good as a simple demo. To scale or to even put into production, it needs to deployed as an API or embedded into the existing systems.

Goal - During this workshop, we will learn about AWS Lambda and Amazon API and how we can use them to deploy our Data Science models.

Talk will include a live demo during we will - 1. Understand & create a lambda_function 2. Download & define layers(aka dependencies) 3. Test our function 4. Configure Amazon API gateway 5. Deploy the API and test it using Postman or curl

Prerequisites:

Python development experience

Basics on Computer Vision and OCR

Activated AWS account (You might need to enter your credit card details to activate the account. Don’t worry you won’t be charged for the same)
