PostgresML | You know Postgres. Now you know machine learning – PostgresML
Dec 30, 2023 - news.bensbites.co
The article discusses the benefits of a high-efficiency, open-source platform for machine learning (ML) applications. The platform minimizes latency and computational cost through a simple, high availability infrastructure that requires fewer network calls to microservices. It also offers in-database ML, allowing users to bring ML code to their database, build ML apps with SQL, manage less complexity, and enjoy built-in security without the need for unsafe data transfers.
The platform is 100% open-source, enabling users to consume, contribute, and create using various ML libraries and the vast Postgres ecosystem. It also provides instant scalability, allowing users to scale their inference layer to millions of predictions per second with the click of a button across multiple GPUs using the custom Postgres pooler, PgCat.
Key takeaways:
High efficiency infrastructure minimizes latency and computational cost.
In-database ML allows for easy building of ML apps with SQL and built-in security.
The platform is 100% open-source, including various ML libraries and the Postgres ecosystem.
Instant scalability allows for scaling of the inference layer to millions of predictions per second across multiple GPUs.
