Our data science teams deliver end-to-end AI model services. Building infrastructure, however, is not our business focus, making Qwak ideal for our needs.

Challenges

Intensive Engineering Support: Crafting recommendation engine models demanded significant engineering backup.

Infrastructure Scalability: The infrastructure needed to be robust enough to support billions of users concurrently.

Platform Requirements: Yotpo sought a real-time ML model serving platform that was reliable, user-friendly, scalable, and forward-looking.

Flexibility & Autonomy: It was pivotal that Yotpo remained unshackled by specific model structures. They also required a centralized mechanism to seamlessly train, deploy, and access models on a massive scale.

Operational Overhead: Building and maintaining such infrastructure demanded extensive expertise, time, and effort—areas not aligned with Yotpo's primary business objectives.

Implementation

Solutions

Seamless Integration: Integrating with Qwak was a straightforward affair. A simple wrap-around of the Python model and a few lines of code empowered Yotpo with a fully deployed system. Notably, Qwak's platform promises flexibility, facilitating quick implementation of novel features.

They can now tweak model inputs without backend modifications. Plus, sharing feature sets among various models and conducting large-scale model training become feasible.
