Although the serverless environment has been gaining popularity over
the past few years, its use for deployment of ML models has been
largely unexplored. In this talk I'll try to change that and discuss
our journey of using serverless (specifically AWS Lambda) to power
Slido's NLP-enabled features by going through it all: the good, the
bad and the ugly. Despite its limits, I'll try to show a couple
examples where it enabled projects that would not make it to
production otherwise.
