Mercado Libre hosts the largest online commerce and payments ecosystem in Latin America. The IT department built Fury: a PaaS framework for the development and deployment of multi-cloud, multi-technology, microservices. This platform leveraged the growth of the IT area, which now counts ~4000 people.   

As such, it lacked support for machine-learning based solutions: an experimentation environment for data scientists, infrastructure and data access support for ETL and models’ training tasks, etc.  Therefore, for over a year now, they have been developing Fury Data Apps (FDA). An extension of Fury for the design, experimentation, development, and deployment of machine-learning-based solutions. It is already supporting ~500 users and some high-performance production APIs.  

In this meetup, we talk about the main features of the platform, the supporting technology, and why Carlos never accepted my LinkedIn request.
