Hey folks, thanks for your interest in Seldon. It's exciting to see all of our hard work come to life! Our plan is to build out and support the strongest ecosystem of data scientists in the predictive machine learning space. We adopted the permissive Apache 2.0 license, so you are free to build domain-specific algorithms and functionality to either contribute back into the core platform or release under a separate license. We would love to hear your feedback, both first impressions and thoughts as you start using the platform. And, of course, how you would like to see the project evolve in the long term. Suggestions on the functionality that you would find useful would also be appreciated - we're hooked on customer and developer community feedback! :)

Alex, The idea is very cool and I am glad that the developments are going to be contributed to an open source version. As a developer while we can try VM setup and as well as Amazon instance, can you also host it on one of your server and provide a demo access to developers to get acquainted with system and architecture before they can try on VM or Amazon AMI?

  Thanks, Hassan! We were originally a SaaS recommendation engine and will continue to provide a fully-managed cloud-based solution. It’s now serving recommendations on hundreds of millions of page views per month. There are a few pretty significant technical tasks we need to complete to make the API provisioning streamlined enough to support trial accounts since there are some manual steps required to configure the metadata properly, etc. Since we decided to go open-source last September, all of our R&D focus has been in preparing this open-source release instead of the self-serve. Streamlining our cloud service is in the roadmap, and it's now powered by the same codebase as the open-source project. The feedback we received from developers who tried the AMI and VM are that it's super quick to get started. And as you can see we've spent a lot of time recently on documentation. If you're interested in the hosted API, please email support@seldon.io.
