Tempo Overview¶

Tempo is a python SDK for data scientists to help them move their models to production. It has 4 core goals:

  1. Data science friendly.

  2. Pluggable Seldon runtimes.

  3. Custom python inference components.

  4. Powerful orchestration logic.

goals

A simple model example is shown below. A data scientist need only fill some core details about their trained model.

example

Tempo allows you to combine business logic as custom python with models served on optimized servers.

example

In the example below:

  1. Train your sklearn model

  2. Train your xgboost model

  3. Create python logic to orchestrate the two

example

The Tempo code for the above example is shown below:

example code

The steps to use tempo would be:

  1. Local training and unit tests

  2. Local tests of inference on Docker

  3. Push to production runtime, e.g. Kubernetes with Seldon Core
