| ## What is Apache PredictionIO®? |
| |
| Apache PredictionIO® is an **open source Machine Learning Server** |
| built on top of a state-of-the-art open source stack for developers and data |
| scientists to create predictive engines for any machine learning task. It lets you: |
| |
| * quickly build and deploy an engine as a web service on production with |
| [customizable templates](/gallery/template-gallery); |
| * respond to dynamic queries in **real-time** once deployed as a web service; |
| * evaluate and tune multiple engine variants systematically; |
| * unify data from multiple platforms in batch or in real-time for comprehensive |
| predictive analytics; |
| * speed up machine learning modeling with systematic processes and pre-built |
| evaluation measures; |
| * support machine learning and data processing libraries such as Spark MLLib and |
| OpenNLP; |
| * implement your own machine learning models and seamlessly incorporate them |
| into your engine; |
| * simplify data infrastructure management. |
| |
| Apache PredictionIO® can be [installed](/install/) as a full machine |
| learning stack, bundled with **Apache Spark**, **MLlib**, **HBase**, **Spray** |
| and **Elasticsearch**, which simplifies and accelerates scalable machine |
| learning infrastructure management. |
