Technical requirements
In this chapter, we will mostly use the same libraries that we have used in the previous chapters. You should have Postman or another REST API client installed to be able to send API calls and see the responses. All the code for this chapter is provided at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Machine-Learning-Model-Serving-Patterns-and-Best-Practices/tree/main/Chapter%2012.
If you get ModuleNotFoundError while trying to import any library, then you should install that module using the pip3 install <module_name> command.
You also need to install Docker for this chapter. Please make sure that you install Docker from https://www.docker.com/. Docker is the easiest and most recommended system for using TensorFlow Serving, as per the official documentation at https://www.tensorflow.org/tfx/serving/docker.
