Building the application platform
In Chapter 1, Getting Started with Automated Machine Learning on AWS, you were introduced to ACME Fishing Logistics, whose primary charter is to educate fishermen on how to determine whether abalone is old enough for breeding. To accomplish this task, ACME provides a website with the relevant information to guide fishermen in their abalone age-determination task. ACME also provides a contact form for the fishermen to use should they require more information. This website essentially represents their software application.
To start the build-out of the application, the first step is to formalize a team. The following diagram illustrates what the team looks like:
Figure 10.3 – The application team
As you can see from Figure 10.3, the initial application team is comprised of the following key resources:
- Application owner
- Site reliability/platform engineering team
- Frontend application software engineering...
