The Post Modern Stack // Jacopo Tagliabue // MLOps Meetup #103

In this workshop, we discuss our “Post-Modern Data Stack”, that is, a deconstruction of the MLOps stack we previously shared with the community. In particular, we join the “modern data stack” (Snowflake + dbt) with “modern MLOps” practices, using Metaflow to bridge the gap between data, training, and inference in a pure serverless fashion.

As usual, we refuse to work in a toy stack, and with toy data: leveraging our huge data release from last year, we walk through a real-world recommendation pipeline, going from raw data to a live endpoint serving predictions.

// BioEducated in several acronyms across the globe (UNISR, SFI, MIT), Jacopo Tagliabue was co-founder of Tooso, an A.I. company acquired by Coveo in 2019. Jacopo is currently the Director of A.I. at Coveo, shipping models to hundreds of customers and millions of users.

When not busy building products, Jacopo teaches MLSys at NYU and explores topics at the intersection of language, reasoning, and learning (with research work presented at NAACL, RecSys, ACL, SIGIR). In previous lives, he managed to get a Ph.D., do sciency things for a pro basketball team, and simulate a pre-Columbian civilization.
