About

Seldon V2 APIs provide a state of the art solution for machine learning inference which can be run locally on a laptop as well as on Kubernetes for production.

Features

• A single platform for inference of wide range of standard and custom artifacts.
• Deploy locally in Docker during development and testing of models.
• Deploy at scale on Kubernetes for production.
• Deploy single models to multi-step pipelines.
• Save infrastructure costs by deploying multiple models transparently in inference servers.
• Overcommit on resources to deploy more models than available memory.
• Dynamically extended models with pipelines with a data-centric perspective backed by Kafka.
• Explain individual models and pipelines with state of the art explanation techniques.
• Deploy drift and outlier detectors alongside models.
• Kubernetes Service mesh agnostic - use the service mesh of your choice.

Publication

These features are influenced by our position paper on the next generation of ML model serving frameworks:
