Deploying ML Models with AWS Lambda (Serverless)
Details
A low-cost, auto-scaling approach to serving ML models - Alexey Grigorev
This is the second workshop in our ML series on ML model deployment.
Building on the FastAPI service created in Part 1, we’ll now show how to deploy that service using Kubernetes, the industry standard for managing containerized applications in production.
In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to deploy machine learning models using serverless infrastructure, specifically AWS Lambda. Serverless deployment is a great alternative to managing your own infrastructure, ideal for lightweight models or infrequent inference.
This session walks you through packaging your model, creating a Lambda function, and exposing it via API Gateway.
What You'll Learn
- What serverless means and when to use it
- How AWS Lambda works for ML model serving
- How to prepare your model for deployment with TensorFlow Lite
- How to package your code and dependencies in a Docker image
- How to expose your Lambda function using API Gateway
It will be a live demo with practical tips and a chance to ask your questions. This workshop gives you a real feel for how ML models are deployed in real-world environments.
Thinking About ML Zoomcamp?
This workshop reflects topics from Module 9 in ML Zoomcamp, our free 4-month course that takes you from beginner to advanced ML engineer. It covers the fundamentals of ML, from regression and classification to deployment and deep learning.
The new cohort of the ML Zoomcamp starts on September 15, 2025. You can join it by registering here.
