Kubernetes Series

A series of articles explaining Kubernetes foundations by developing an application that is deployed to a K8s cluster.

This service will be a customer churn prediction ML pipeline. The prediction model will be exposed as an API from an HTTP server.

This API can be used in two ways.

• A call center employee can enter the data via a simple web form and get a likelihood of churn. If it’s too high, they can offer special discounts.
• An automated process will scan the customer database for people likely to churn and email them a special discount coupon.
• This job will add names to a queue, and another job will process the queue and email, and another job will update the database

The ML will be the customer churn regression from Chapter 3 of Machine Learning Bookcamp.
