Machine learning development brings many new complexities beyond the traditional software development lifecycle. Unlike traditional software development, ML developers want to try multiple algorithms, tools and parameters to get the best results, and they need to track this information to reproduce work. In addition, developers need to use many distinct systems to productionize models. In this talk, learn how to operationalize ML across the full lifecycle with Databricks Machine Learning.

Historically it has been challenging for R developers to build and share data products that use Apache Spark. In this talk, learn how you can publish Shiny apps that leverage the scale and speed of Databricks, Spark and Delta Lake, so your stakeholders can better leverage insights from your data in their decision making. They will walk through how to decouple a Shiny app from a Spark cluster without losing the ability to query billions of rows with Delta Lake. Learn how to safely promote models from development to production with the MLflow Model Registry on Databricks. By tracking model experimentation with MLflow and managing the lifecycle with the Registry, organizations can improve reproducibility and governance when publishing artifacts to RStudio Connect for batch or online scoring with Shiny or Plumber APIs.
