If you train machine learning models, then you know the challenge of going from experiment to production. There's a vast range of tools that promise to help, from experiment tracking through to model deployment, but setting these up requires a lot of time and cloud engineering knowledge.
Matcha removes the complexity of provisioning your machine learning infrastructure. With one step, you'll have a complete machine learning operations (MLOps) stack up and running in your Microsoft® Azure cloud environment. This means you'll be able to track your experiments, train your models, as well as deploy and serve those models.
Matcha is for data scientists, machine learning engineers, and anybody who trains machine learning models. If you're using Azure, and want an intuitive way to deploy machine learning infrastructure, Matcha is for you.
If you're new to Matcha, the best place to start is our guide to deploying your first model. If you're happy with the basics, then you might want to dive into our Matcha examples on Github.
The full Matcha documentation can be found at mymatcha.ai. This covers what Matcha is in more detail, how to use it, what Azure permissions are required, and how Matcha works internally.
We've put a lot of thought into what our users — data scientists, ML engineers, etc — need from their infrastructure, and we came up with 5 key pieces of functionality that are absolute musts:
- A place to track, version, and manage datasets.
- A place to track experiments and models assets.
- Scalable compute for running training workloads, with the option to use GPUs.
- Somewhere to deploy and serve models in a way that scales with your application needs.
- The ability to monitor models for things like drift and bias.
Matcha is still in alpha release, and we don't support everything on that list yet. We support experiment tracking, training, and deployment, with plans to add data versioning and monitoring later. We very much welcome input on our roadmap from our early users.
Matcha at its very core is open source and we're eager for you to get involved whether through raising issues or by opening a PR.
We have an in-depth contributing guide which will describe how to do all of this.
Note: Matcha is still in alpha release. While we've worked hard to ensure there are no defects, there's a small chance that you'll find a bug or something that hasn't been documented as well as it could be. If that happens, we'd really value your feedback, which you can send by submitting an issue to Matcha on Github.
