ai.bythebay: Eduardo Ariño de la Rubia, Developing and Deploying Models at Scale — without Spark!
ai.bythebay.io Nov 2025, Oakland, full-stack AI conference Scale By the Bay 2019 is held on November 13-15 in sunny Oakland, California, on the shores of Lake Merritt: https://scale.bythebay.io. Join us! ----- Looking for a break after an endless stream of talks about Spark? We'll do a live demo of developing and deploying a predictive model using an easy-to-use, Spark-less platform. We'll show how standard cloud compute resources let you train models using terabytes of RAM, and we'll demo deploying a model and serving requests at web scale, with horizontal scalability and high availability. Benefits of the approach we'll demonstrate include: (a) flexibility to use arbitrary R and Python development without shoehorning work into Spark; (b) simpler infrastructure management by avoiding distributed computing; (c) better performance for problems that are merely "medium data" rather than legitimately "big" data.
