// On a Highway to Scale: Machine Learning as a Platform - Ben Amir
“The more data you have, the more problems you’re going to encounter trying to train your models.” This is a very famous saying I just invented. But jokes aside, when you’re handling lots of data, you come across many issues and problems, including ones associated with model training. At Riskified, we also handle lots of data and face problems, which forced us to scale up our ML platform.
In this talk, I will cover how we speed up to the process of handling massive amounts of data and shorten the way to production using our new machine learning platform orchestration. I will share our insights from the process of building it up from scratch and how we leveraged Apache Spark and Kubernetes as key infrastructural players.
Ben is the ML Platform team lead at Riskified. After serving 12 years in the 8200 unit, he joined Riskified and fell in love with fighting fraud.
He is a real fan of new technologies, trying new stuff, innovation and hard work.
When Ben is not near his laptop, you can find him watching (or playing) basketball, walking around the city with his dog and probably grabbing some good food.
