App Templates contain three families of complementary logic. For this template, you can opt-in to fully custom AI logic and a fully custom front-end or utilize DataRobot's off-the-shelf offerings:
-
AI logic: Necessary to service AI requests, generate predictions, and manage predictive models.
-
App logic: Necessary for user consumption, whether via a hosted front-end or integrating into an external consumption layer.
-
Operational logic: Necessary to turn on all DataRobot assets.
Warning
Application templates are intended to be starting points that provide guidance on how to develop, serve, and maintain AI applications. They require a developer or data scientist to adapt and modify them to meet business requirements before being put into production.
