Introduction Taking machine learning (ML) models from the lab to production is one of the most critical and challenging steps in the ML lifecycle. While developing an ML model might seem hard, productionizing it brings a whole new set of complexities around deployment, monitoring, scalability, and lifecycle management. This guide explores the common challenges in ML productionization, outlines best-practice solutions, and highlights the essential tools every data science team should consider for a robust deployment pipeline. Common Challenges in ML productionization 1. Environment Discrepancies ML models often work in development environments but fail in production due to differences in infrastructure, dependencies, or data pipelines. 2. Data Drift and Concept Drift Over time, the data feeding your model in production may diverge from the training data. This results in degraded performance and eroded trust in predictions. 3. Scalability and Latency Constraints Serving models at scale—e...

In the AWS ecosystem, load balancers ensure your applications' scalability, reliability, and high availability. Amazon offers three main types of load balancers via Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) : Application Load Balancer (ALB) Network Load Balancer (NLB) Gateway Load Balancer (GLB) Each serves a unique purpose based on your application requirements. Let's explore their differences and when to use which.  Application Load Balancer (ALB)  Best For: HTTP and HTTPS traffic Modern web apps using microservices and containerized services Layer 7 (Application layer) routing  Features: Path-based and host-based routing WebSocket support Redirects, fixed responses Native integration with Amazon ECS , EKS , and Lambda Advanced routing for microservices  Use ALB When: You need fine-grained routing logic based on URLs or headers Hosting multiple services under one domain (e.g., /api , /auth ) Implementing serverless apps  Network Load Balancer (NLB)  Best For: TCP, UDP...
