Machine learning has become an increasingly important means for organizations to extract value from their data. Many companies start off with successful proofs of value but face problems when scaling their capabilities afterward. By generalizing engineering problems and solving them centrally, scaling becomes much more feasible. Model serving platforms generalize the problem of turning a machine learning model in a value-generating application. Combining a serving platform with cultural shifts such as a shift-left approach enhances efficiency even further.
