Running predictionIO on a web server other than localhost

Hello!

I am a beginner so please excuse me if my question is rudimentary.
I've followed a demo for Tapster Comics Recommendation (
http://predictionio.incubator.apache.org/demo/tapster/) and have a good
understanding of deploying the engine, app and event server on localhost.

My app ran on localhost:3000, engine ran on localhost:8000, and eventserver
ran on localhost:7000.

I would like to now deploy these on a web server. The "app" would be a
specific website. How would I hook up and deploy eventserver and
predictionIO engine to gather information from that specific website?

Would it just be a matter of changing environmental variables in pio-env.sh
(in predictionIO installation directory) as well as those in app's
directory? For example, would I substitute "localhost" with a web server?

Thank you!

Best Regards,
Jenna Kwon

Jenna,

Glad to hear you got PredictionIO running on Heroku.

The PIO engine & eventserver need to be live, reachable on the internet so that a front-end web app can access them. Ideally all microservices (engine, evenserver, web app) are deployed to the same cloud provider & region so that backend HTTP & database/Postgres communication are low-latency. While it is technically feasible to have the services running in different places, that will only degrade reliability & responsiveness of the integrated application.

Your app should be using one of PredictionIO SDKs to interact with the event server and engine.

Re: Running predictionIO on a web server other than localhost

Posted by Jenna Kwon <ji...@gmail.com>.

I tried the github guide out and was able to deploy the event server &
classification engine to heroku. I have my locally running webapp
communicate with them via HTTP. Thank you!

I have a remaining question. Must the eventserver & predictionIO engine be
deployed on the cloud if I want my webapp running on a web server (instead
of on localhost) to communicate with them via HTTP?

Jenna Kwon

Hi Jenna,

Today at Dreamforce (the Salesforce conference) we're presenting this PredictionIO Heroku buildpack in a developer session called "Exploring Machine Learning on Heroku":

https://github.com/heroku/predictionio-buildpack <https://github.com/heroku/predictionio-buildpack>

The README is a tailored guide to getting an attribute-based classifier running. To use the buildpack for engines of your own choosing, follow the more generalized (and more complex) CUSTOM docs:

https://github.com/heroku/predictionio-buildpack/blob/master/CUSTOM.md <https://github.com/heroku/predictionio-buildpack/blob/master/CUSTOM.md>

If you decide to try it out, please post Github issues with questions, problems, or feedback!

Hello Jenna,

Deployment in local is fine if you are running lightweight jobs and using
it just for hands-on and learning purpose, no need to bear extra cost of
the additional computing power of cloud services.
In case you are into heavy weight research work or running a production
system and wants it to be accessible from around the globe, private or
hybrid or using available cloud services like AWS is must.

Dear Mr. Szeto,

Thank you so much for your reply. I saw some posts demonstrating deployment
of event server & engine via Heroku. I also saw that there used to be
deployment through AWS. In what case would I want to do that instead of
keeping them local?

Hi Jenna,

You probably want to have a reverse proxy in front of your app
(localhost:3000) so that it is exposed to the Internet via standard ports
(80 for HTTP or 443 for HTTPS). Your app can communicate to the event
server and engine over localhost. They don't need to be exposed to the
Internet. Your app should be using one of PredictionIO SDKs to interact
with the event server and engine.

Donald
