I am a software engineer, who is involved in building (backend) data products (from building ETL, data-warehousing, scaling DB, .. etc).

My question to those who work in big companies and applied research labs, do engineers need to have MSc/PhD in Artificial Intelligence/Data Science to grow in the company.

I am not a data scientist, I am interested more into enabling Machine Learning in production (https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/becoming-a-machine-learning-engineer).

What are you recommendations ?

Hi,

We are trying to replace [Google Maps]( https://developers.google.com/maps/premium/) to use other alternatives like Mapbox, HERE in the future. However, we found that there are some Open Source Project like OSRM [1], Valhalla [2]. I would like to know what is your experiences with OpenStreetMaps as a backend for routing systems. If it is the case, would you please share your opinion and experience.

Hi, I am trying to build a technical blog, and I would like to know what do people expect and what write about. Do I need to share experiments ?. I am a backend engineer with focus on Data engineering. Do you have any recommendations, or examples ?

Most of researchers these days prototype using Python & R. However, when you put ML systems into productions, accuracy is not the only metric. Teams care about scalability and the speed of their system 1

What do you use when you deploy ML in production ?. Which technology make it easier for you to build faster and more reliable infrastructure.

Most of answers to this question on [reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/7zizn3/d_python_scala_rust_or_go_what_do_you_use_when/). I am curious to see more diverse answers and why teams tend to use specific technology for ML ?

Hi, Other than these companies [here](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/friends.html). Are there any companies switching to use Rust in production ?

If yes, would you elaborate on why you choose Rust over other technologies ?
