Right this moment’s main corporations belief Twilio’s Buyer Engagement Platform (CEP) to construct direct, customized relationships with their prospects all over the place on this planet. Twilio allows corporations to make use of communications and knowledge so as to add intelligence and safety to each step of the client journey, from gross sales and advertising to progress and customer support, and plenty of extra engagement use instances in a versatile, programmatic method. Throughout 180 nations, tens of millions of builders and tons of of 1000’s of companies use Twilio to create magical experiences for his or her prospects. Being one of many largest AWS prospects, Twilio engages with knowledge and synthetic intelligence and machine studying (AI/ML) companies to run their every day workloads. This put up outlines the steps AWS and Twilio took emigrate Twilio’s present machine studying operations (MLOps), the implementation of coaching fashions, and working batch inferences to Amazon SageMaker.
ML fashions don’t function in isolation. They need to combine into present manufacturing programs and infrastructure to ship worth. This necessitates contemplating the complete ML lifecycle throughout design and growth. With the fitting processes and instruments, MLOps allows organizations to reliably and effectively undertake ML throughout their groups for his or her particular use instances. SageMaker features a suite of options for MLOps that features Amazon SageMaker Pipelines and Amazon SageMaker Mannequin Registry. Pipelines permit for simple creation and administration of ML workflows whereas additionally providing storage and reuse capabilities for workflow steps. The mannequin registry simplifies mannequin deployment by centralizing mannequin monitoring.
This put up focuses on easy methods to obtain flexibility in utilizing your knowledge supply of selection and combine it seamlessly with Amazon SageMaker Processing jobs. With SageMaker Processing jobs, you need to use a simplified, managed expertise to run knowledge preprocessing or postprocessing and mannequin analysis workloads on the SageMaker platform.
Twilio wanted to implement an MLOps pipeline that queried knowledge from PrestoDB. PrestoDB is an open supply SQL question engine that’s designed for quick analytic queries in opposition to knowledge of any dimension from a number of sources.
On this put up, we present you a step-by-step implementation to attain the next:
Use case overview
Twilio skilled a binary classification ML mannequin utilizing scikit-learn’s RandomForestClassifier to combine into their MLOps pipeline. This mannequin is used as a part of a batch course of that runs periodically for his or her every day workloads, making coaching and inference workflows repeatable to speed up mannequin growth. The coaching knowledge used for this pipeline is made obtainable by PrestoDB and skim into Pandas by the PrestoDB Python shopper.
The tip purpose was to transform the present steps into two pipelines: a coaching pipeline and a batch remodel pipeline that linked the information queried from PrestoDB to a SageMaker Processing job, and eventually deploy the skilled mannequin to a SageMaker endpoint for real-time inference.
On this put up, we use an open supply dataset obtainable by the TPCH connector that’s packaged with PrestoDB as an example the end-to-end workflow that Twilio used. Twilio was ready to make use of this resolution emigrate their present MLOps pipeline to SageMaker. All of the code for this resolution is accessible within the GitHub repo.
Answer overview
This resolution is split into three foremost steps:
Mannequin coaching pipeline – On this step, we join a SageMaker Processing job to fetch knowledge from a PrestoDB occasion, practice and tune the ML mannequin, consider it, and register it with the SageMaker mannequin registry.
Batch remodel pipeline – On this step, we run a preprocessing knowledge step that reads knowledge from a PrestoDB occasion and runs batch inference on the registered ML mannequin (from the mannequin registry) that we approve as part of this pipeline. This mannequin is authorized both programmatically or manually by the mannequin registry.
Actual-time inference – On this step, we deploy the most recent authorized mannequin as a SageMaker endpoint for real-time inference.
All pipeline parameters used on this resolution exist in a single config.yml file. This file consists of the mandatory AWS and PrestoDB credentials to connect with the PrestoDB occasion, data on the coaching hyperparameters and SQL queries which can be run at coaching, and inference steps to learn knowledge from PrestoDB. This resolution is very customizable for industry-specific use instances in order that it may be used with minimal code adjustments by easy updates within the config file.
The next code reveals an instance of how a question is configured throughout the config.yml file. This question is used on the knowledge processing step of the coaching pipeline to fetch knowledge from the PrestoDB occasion. Right here, we predict whether or not an order is a high_value_order or a low_value_order based mostly on the orderpriority as given from the TPC-H knowledge. For extra data on the TPC-H knowledge, its database entities, relationships, and traits, discuss with TPC Benchmark H. You possibly can change the question to your use case throughout the config file and run the answer with no code adjustments.
The primary steps of this resolution are described intimately within the following sections.
Information preparation and coaching
The info preparation and coaching pipeline consists of the next steps:
The coaching knowledge is learn from a PrestoDB occasion, and any characteristic engineering wanted is completed as a part of the SQL queries run in PrestoDB at retrieval time. The queries which can be used to fetch knowledge at coaching and batch inference steps are configured within the config file.
We use the FrameworkProcessor with SageMaker Processing jobs to learn knowledge from PrestoDB utilizing the Python PrestoDB shopper.
For the coaching and tuning step, we use the SKLearn estimator from the SageMaker SDK and the RandomForestClassifier from scikit-learn to coach the ML mannequin. The HyperparameterTuner class is used for working automated mannequin tuning, which finds the most effective model of the mannequin by working many coaching jobs on the dataset utilizing the algorithm and the ranges of hyperparameters.
The mannequin analysis step checks that the skilled and tuned mannequin has an accuracy stage above a user-defined threshold and solely then register that mannequin throughout the mannequin registry. If the mannequin accuracy doesn’t meet the brink, the pipeline fails and the mannequin just isn’t registered with the mannequin registry.
The mannequin coaching pipeline is then run with pipeline.begin, which invokes and instantiates all of the previous steps.
Batch remodel
The batch remodel pipeline consists of the next steps:
The pipeline implements a knowledge preparation step that retrieves knowledge from a PrestoDB occasion (utilizing a knowledge preprocessing script) and shops the batch knowledge in Amazon Easy Storage Service (Amazon S3).
The most recent mannequin registered within the mannequin registry from the coaching pipeline is authorized.
A Transformer occasion is used to runs a batch remodel job to get inferences on the complete dataset saved in Amazon S3 from the information preparation step and retailer the output in Amazon S3.
SageMaker real-time inference
The SageMaker endpoint pipeline consists of the next steps:
The most recent authorized mannequin is retrieved from the mannequin registry utilizing the describe_model_package operate from the SageMaker SDK.
The most recent authorized mannequin is deployed as a real-time SageMaker endpoint.
The mannequin is deployed on a ml.c5.xlarge occasion with a minimal occasion depend of 1 and a most occasion depend of three (configurable by the person) with the automated scaling coverage set to ENABLED. This removes pointless situations so that you don’t pay for provisioned situations that you simply aren’t utilizing.

The coaching pipeline consists of the next steps which can be carried out by the pocket book run:
Preprocess the information – On this step, we create a processing job for knowledge preprocessing. For extra data on processing jobs, see Course of knowledge. We use a preprocessing script to attach and question knowledge from a PrestoDB occasion utilizing the user-specified SQL question within the config file. This step splits and sends knowledge retrieved from PrestoDB as practice, take a look at, and validation recordsdata to an S3 bucket. The ML mannequin is skilled utilizing the information in these recordsdata.
The sklearn_processor is used within the ProcessingStep to run the scikit-learn script that preprocesses knowledge. The step is outlined as follows:
Right here, we use config[‘scripts’][‘source_dir’], which factors to the information preprocessing script that connects to the PrestoDB occasion. Parameters used as arguments in step_args are configurable and fetched from the config file.
Prepare the mannequin – On this step, we create a coaching job to coach a mannequin. For extra data on coaching jobs, see Prepare a Mannequin with Amazon SageMaker. Right here, we use the Scikit Study Estimator from the SageMaker SDK to deal with the end-to-end coaching and deployment of customized Scikit-learn code. The RandomForestClassifier is used to coach the ML mannequin for our binary classification use case. The HyperparameterTuner class is used for working automated mannequin tuning to find out the set of hyperparameters that present the most effective efficiency based mostly on a user-defined metric threshold (for instance, maximizing the AUC metric).
Within the following code, the sklearn_estimator object is used with parameters which can be configured within the config file and makes use of a coaching script to coach the ML mannequin. This step accesses the practice, take a look at, and validation recordsdata that have been created as part of the earlier knowledge preprocessing step.
Consider the mannequin – This step checks if the skilled and tuned mannequin has an accuracy stage above a user-defined threshold, and solely then registers the mannequin with the mannequin registry. If the mannequin accuracy doesn’t meet the user-defined threshold, the pipeline fails and the mannequin just isn’t registered with the mannequin registry. We use the ScriptProcessor with an analysis script {that a} person creates to judge the skilled mannequin based mostly on a metric of selection.
The analysis step makes use of the analysis script as a code entry. This script prepares the options and goal values, and calculates the prediction possibilities utilizing mannequin.predict. On the finish of the run, an analysis report is shipped to Amazon S3 that accommodates data on precision, recall, and accuracy metrics.
The next screenshot reveals an instance of an analysis report.
Add circumstances – After the mannequin is evaluated, we are able to add circumstances to the pipeline with a ConditionStep. This step registers the mannequin provided that the given user-defined metric threshold is met. In our resolution, we solely need to register the brand new mannequin model with the mannequin registry if the brand new mannequin meets a particular accuracy situation of above 70%.
If the accuracy situation just isn’t met, a step_fail step is run that sends an error message to the person, and the pipeline fails. For example, as a result of the user-defined accuracy situation is about to 0.7 within the config file, and the accuracy calculated throughout the analysis step exceeds it (73.8%), the result of this step is about to True and the mannequin strikes to the final step of the coaching pipeline.
Register the mannequin – The RegisterModel step registers a sagemaker.mannequin.Mannequin or a sagemaker.pipeline.PipelineModel with the SageMaker mannequin registry. When the skilled mannequin meets the mannequin efficiency necessities, a brand new model of the mannequin is registered with the SageMaker mannequin registry.
The mannequin is registered with the mannequin registry with an approval standing set to PendingManualApproval. This implies the mannequin can’t be deployed on a SageMaker endpoint except its standing within the registry is modified to Accredited manually on the SageMaker console, programmatically, or by an AWS Lambda operate.
