Brave | Professional Services | 210 | $24M | United States | Rackspace Technology | Rackspace Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning | Professional Services | 2021 | In 2021, Brave implemented Rackspace Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning to operationalize its browser advertising and website classification models, aligning machine learning workflows with its privacy-first browser strategy. Brave, a United States based professional services company with approximately 210 employees, targeted automated model deployment to support 30 million monthly active users and more than 1 million verified publishers within the browser advertising stack. The implementation leveraged Onica by Rackspace Technology and the Rackspace Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning offering to introduce MLOps Foundations pipelines that standardized model development, training and deployment. Functional capabilities implemented included CI/CD for models, automated training orchestration, model approval and QA gates, and optimized model packaging to enable on-device inference while preserving user privacy. The solution integrated explicitly with AWS platform services, using AWS SageMaker for model training, AWS Lambda to invoke Jenkins endpoints, AWS CodePipeline for CI/CD orchestration, AWS CodeCommit for source control, AWS Systems Manager for perimeter storage, and Amazon S3 for training data storage. The engagement used AWS Jumpstart funding and Onica’s MLOps Foundations architecture pattern to ensure traceable artifact promotion from training to production. Operational scope covered Brave’s data science and DevOps teams, including two data scientists and a DevOps specialist, with Onica training Brave staff on the MLOps framework and deployment troubleshooting. Deployment governance introduced a notification and approval workflow so model training metrics are reviewed and accepted or rejected before production rollout, and the project adapted midstream to rearchitect an NLP model for efficient cloud training under a six week schedule. Outcomes reported by Brave were reduced model training time from several days to six hours, streamlined deployment that moved from multi-day processes to a few hours, and a 50 percent reduction in infrastructure costs through use of AWS spot instances. The implementation impacted advertising prediction workflows, browser performance modeling and publisher monetization pipelines while preserving Brave’s privacy-oriented architecture. | |

Brave | Professional Services | 210 | $24M | United States | Rackspace Technology | Onica by Rackspace Technology | Professional Services | 2021 | In 2021, Brave implemented Onica by Rackspace Technology as a Professional Services engagement to operationalize machine learning pipelines that classify websites for browser advertising. The engagement targeted Brave’s machine learning foundation that supports a browser with roughly 30 million monthly active users and more than one million verified publishers, and it centered on moving model creation and deployment into a repeatable cloud pipeline managed by a small internal analytics and DevOps team. Onica by Rackspace Technology deployed its MLOps Foundations architecture to provide consistent, traceable model development, training and deployment workflows. The implementation configured AWS SageMaker for model training, AWS Lambda to invoke Jenkins endpoints, AWS CodePipeline for continuous integration and delivery, AWS CodeCommit as the code repository, AWS Systems Manager for perimeter storage, and Amazon S3 for model training data storage, creating an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline for machine learning. The project was executed on AWS and funded through AWS Jumpstart, with cloud infrastructure reworked to automate training, validation and publishing. Onica optimized an existing natural language processing model to run efficiently in the cloud, and the deployment model was adjusted midstream to support spot instances on an AWS auction service to control infrastructure spend. The automated pipeline also preserved Brave’s privacy intent, enabling stronger models while allowing user data to remain on-device when appropriate. Governance and rollout included a compressed six week delivery window and an accelerated handover, with Onica training Brave staff on the MLOps framework and operational procedures. A new notification and approval process was introduced so the Brave team can review model metrics and accept or reject updates before production deployment, institutionalizing QA gates and traceability into model change control. Outcomes reported by Brave include reducing model training time from several days to six hours, compressing deployment cycles from days to a few hours, completing the engagement ahead of schedule, and lowering infrastructure costs by 50 percent. The implementation strengthened advertising prediction workflows and added formal QA controls to model publishing and operations. | |

Century Engineering | Construction and Real Estate | 500 | $50M | United States | Amazon Web Services (AWS) | Amazon EC2 | Application Hosting and Computing Services | 2021 | In 2021, Century Engineering implemented Amazon EC2 as the core compute layer for its SmartSWM™ back-end decision support system, deployed as an Application Hosting and Computing Services solution on AWS. The project targeted commercial readiness for an IoT driven stormwater management product that ingests hyper local weather forecasts, monitors on site sensor telemetry, and issues autonomous control commands to release valves to meet regulatory performance objectives. Onica by Rackspace Technology led a two phase engagement that combined cloud native development, Internet of Things and edge improvement, and data management refinement. Amazon EC2 instances host the decision support engine and data processing pipelines, while Onica refined the back end logic to compute optimal water surface elevations and discharge rates, and to orchestrate remote actuation commands. Hardware work included custom microcontroller configurations, analog to digital signal conditioning to manage noisy pressure transducer outputs, tamper detection and alerting, and cellular modem guidance for resilient connectivity. The implementation integrates on site microcontrollers and environmental sensors with cloud compute on Amazon EC2, supporting telemetry ingestion, solar generation and consumption monitoring, water temperature sampling, and forecast feed consumption. Operational coverage is oriented to Century Engineering projects for public and private clients, with the Cloud hosted back end providing remote access for monitoring, parameter adjustment, and automated control of distributed stormwater facilities. Governance and rollout followed a phased remediation and hardening approach where Onica improved system architecture, security posture, and scalability of the SmartSWM™ service. Outcomes reported in the engagement include improved reliability, increased security, and a scalable production environment, and Century Engineering has begun layering machine learning model development on top of the Amazon EC2 hosted data platform to support predictive facility behavior modeling. | |
