A few weeks ago, I saw a tweet that said “Writing code isn’t the problem. That statement nicely summarizes what makes software development difficult. Anyone who works in programming has seen the source code for some project evolve from something short, sweet, and clean to a seething mass of bits. Controlling complexity is.”

It just means that from Software Development perspective, servers are abstracted and outsourced to another entity, so you don't need to worry about it. Serverless is currently a hot topic in many modern architectural patterns. This has a huge impact on application architecture, however having said that, it's not necessarily a bad idea.

All ML projects are software projects. If you peek under the hood of an ML-powered application, these days you will often find a repository of Python code. If you ask an engineer to show how they operate the application in production, they will likely show containers and operational dashboards—not unlike any other software service.

First, the behavior of an AI application depends on a model , which is built from source code and training data. A model isn’t source code, and it isn’t data; it’s an artifact built from the two. This means that, to have a history of how an application was developed, you have to look at more than the source code.
