New Tech

In Labs, Data Science teams don’t just train models. We deploy models in the cloud, and integrate machine learning into web products, using a combination of this tech stack:

• FastAPI: Web framework. Like Flask, but faster, with automatic interactive docs.

• MongoDB: A non-relational database that offers scalability and flexibility to handle schema-less data.

• AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Platform as a service, hosts your API. Like Heroku, but more in demand.

• Docker: Containers, for reproducibility. Like virtual environments, but more reproducible, and in demand. DS Manager can give you alternatives for specific circumstances.

This technology is in demand with employers, but may be unfamiliar to you now. Don't worry, you don’t have to build anything from scratch on your own as the architecture and base of the app have already been concretized. This means that you will be building upon the work of previous Learners using the Roadmap as your guide.
