MLOps Pipeline Development: The OSSARA Use Case

Software development based on MLOps practices is entering its early adoption stage. As for it, practitioners and researchers are starting to develop pipelines composed of tools capable of automating the whole software lifecycle. The development of the pipeline however is not as straightforward as it looks and some key points need to be addressed. In this work, we propose our vision for the development of the MLOps pipeline by showing what to keep into account when choosing the tools for each step of a pipeline. The proposition has been backed up by describing a developed use case scenario: the OSSARA use case. We believe that the presented use case, as well as the remarks presented for the process of tool selection for each MLOps phase, will help practitioners and researchers in the process of developing their own pipelines.
