High-level ML system design

When you get down to the nuts and bolts of building your solution, there are so many options for tools, tech, and approaches that it can be very easy to be overwhelmed. However, as alluded to in the previous sections, a lot of this complexity can be abstracted to understand the bigger picture via some back-of-the-envelope architecture and designs. This is always a useful exercise once you know what problem you will try and solve, and it is something I recommend doing before you make any detailed choices about implementation.

To give you an idea of how this works in practice, what follows are a few worked-through examples where a team has to create a high-level ML systems design for some typical business problems. These problems are similar to ones I have encountered before and will likely be similar to ones you will encounter in your own work.

Example 1: Batch anomaly detection service

You work for a tech-savvy taxi ride company with a fleet...
