| I really like the combination of these two tools. I've played with cortex before, and it is easy to use, but I am still questionable if automating kubernetes deployments through an easy code interface, without much kubernetes know-how, is safe. In my experience, even when you have a tool automating a lot of kubernetes for you, you will still run into trouble that will be best handled if you are familiar with kubernetes.
I'm not sure what debugging utilities cortex has, but I think the ultimate solution to this problem will be a tool that truly allows users to not think about the fact their deployments are running on kubernetes at all. I'm also interested in the similarities of Cortex and Seldon-core. Of course, seldon-core does not automate infra provisioning, but based on my previous point, I think many teams are better off being more hands on with this infra. Lastly, there is a third tool missing from the mix - monitoring. I think cortex offers some tools in this area, but I wish they would make a part two showing how the monitoring functionality they offer can integrate into a retraining pipeline within metaflow. This post shows you how to get started, but it doesn't show you how to maintain applications long term. |
