ABOUT THE TALK: While giving a talk to a group of up-and-coming data scientists, a question that surprised Dean Pleban was: "When you say “production”, what exactly do you mean?"

In this talk, Dean defines what production actually means. I’ll present a first-principles, step-by-step approach to thinking about deploying a model to production. He will talk about challenges you might face in each step, and provides further reading if you want to dive deeper into each one.
