With careful planning, the other steps required can be made as efficient as possible, for example using minimally-logged or ONLINE operations. When compressed, fixed-length string columns do not store trailing blanks, making them just as efficient as variable-length string columns from a storage point of view. Be Careful with Syntax.

This is both frustrating for companies that would prefer making ML an ordinary, fuss-free value-generating function like software engineering, as well as exciting for vendors who see the opportunity to create buzz around a new category of enterprise software. The new category is often called MLOps. This approach is not novel.

With entrance into the industry being so easy and lack of proper benchmarking (Note: this is somewhat contradictory to point 2, but more on that later) around what makes a good designer, software engineer, or product manager, we’re forced to face the facts that it’s a recipe for poor quality products. Alright, enough doom and gloom.
