SUMMARY
From our experience helping customers in the Data and AI field, we learned that the most challenging part of Machine Learning is deploying it. Putting models into production is complex and requires additional pieces of infrastructure as well as specialized people to take care of it - this is especially true if we are talking about real-time REST APIs for serving ML models.
With Databricks Model Serving V2, we introduce the idea of Serverless REST endpoints to the platform. This allows teams to easily deploy their ML models in a production-grade platform with a few mouse clicks (or lines of code 😀).
