Recommended approach to use ML inference

[Krith-man]

Hello this repo is very helpful, but it is 4 years old.
Is this still the recommended way to use ML inference with Kafka Streams?

[kaiwaehner]

Yes. Absolutely.

Embedding an analytic model is the appropriate way to do reliable model scoring with low latency.

Some model servers also add native Kafka interfaces (see, e.g., https://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2020/10/27/streaming-machine-learning-kafka-native-model-server-deployment-rpc-embedded-streams/). This is another good option for some use cases, but not as robust and fast.
