Loading AI model at server startup

You have to deploy a trained sentiment analysis model that helps in moderating comments from users. To ensure zero downtime, the API needs to be ready to analyze user comments as soon as it starts up.

In this exercise, you'll implement FastAPI's lifespan events to load your model efficiently to build the comment moderation systems. The SentimentAnalyzer model class is already defined and imported for you.

Istruzioni dell'esercizio

Import the context manager decorator from the contextlib module to create the lifespan event.
Use FastAPI's context manager decorator to define the lifespan event function to ensure model loads at startup.
Call the function to load the model at startup in the lifespan event.
Yield to allow the server loading process to continue.

Start serving your ML model's predictions via FastAPI endpoints. You'll learn to load pre-trained ML models and create API endpoints to serve predictions as serialized responses over HTTP requests. You'll leverage Pydantic data models to validate requests and responses.

Exercise 1: GET and POST requests for AI Exercise 2: GET endpoint for model information Exercise 3: POST endpoint for model registration Exercise 4: FastAPI prediction with a pre-trained model Exercise 5: Load the pre-trained model Exercise 6: Create the prediction endpoint Exercise 7: Running the FastAPI app Exercise 8: Request and response models Exercise 9: Create a Pydantic model for ML input Exercise 10: Validate request and response for ML prediction

Learn how to serve machine learning models through FastAPI endpoints. This chapter covers creating endpoints that return predictions, handling different types of input data, and implementing robust input validation. You'll build production-ready APIs that can validate different types of input data while having ML models loaded at server startup with zero downtime.

Exercise 1: Handling different input types in FastAPI Exercise 2: Handle textual request data Exercise 3: Handle numerical request data Exercise 4: Input validation in FastAPI Exercise 5: Field validation Exercise 6: Adding custom validators Exercise 7: Testing custom validators Exercise 8: Loading a pre-trained model Exercise 9: Loading AI model at server startup
