Hi list, I was working with B2W, the company who started Marvin, to get their signature on the Apache Software Grant ( https://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt), so that they formally donate the code to our community.
As part of the software grant we need to write an exhibit, that explains what's the software. Here is my proposal, please do your edits and send it back here in the list. --- Marvin is an open source project that focuses on empowering data science teams to deliver industrial-grade applications supported by a high-scale, low-latency, language agnostic and standardized architecture platform, while simplifying the process of exploration and modeling. Marvin is a set of tools that working together form a platform for creating and operating model-based applications in production. The building blocks of Marvin are: 1. Engine executor is an application server that exposes HTTP endpoints to interact with the deployed model. 2. Python toolbox lib is a software library that contain utility methods and classes that are needed in order to create a Marvin model. 3. Python toolbox cli is a command line utility that is currently the main user interface with the platform. 4. DASFE is a conceptual design pattern that helps all models to follow the same common code structure.
