To this point, we have focused entirely on the theoretical aspects of outlier and anomaly detection. We will still need to delve into theory on several other occasions in later chapters, but we have enough to get started on developing a proper anomaly detection service.
In this chapter, we will build the scaffolding for a real-time outlier detection service. Then, in the next chapter, we will integrate a testing library to reduce the risk of breaking our code as we iterate on techniques.
