The purpose of this DAG is to deploy predictive sales forecasting models into a production environment, enabling retailers to make informed decisions based on accurate sales predictions. The architecture consists of several key components, beginning with the ingestion of data from various sources such as historical sales data, customer behavior analytics, and inventory levels. The data pipeline involves validating the models through rigorous testing and updating the scoring APIs to ensure they reflect the most current data and model performance. Processing steps include model validation, API updates, and performance monitoring. Quality controls are implemented to detect any drift in model performance, allowing for timely adjustments. The outputs of this DAG include updated sales forecasts, performance metrics, and alerts for any anomalies detected during monitoring. Key performance indicators (KPIs) include deployment time and model accuracy in production, which are continuously tracked to ensure optimal performance. The business value lies in the ability to quickly adapt to changing market conditions, improve inventory management, and enhance customer satisfaction through more accurate sales predictions.
