The first category is algorithms as a service, where you are provided with an API or even graphical user interface to connect preprogrammed components of data science pipeline together:

• Google Prediction API: It was one of the first companies that introduced prediction services through its web API. The service is integrated with Google Cloud Storage serving as data storage. The user can build a model and call an API to get predictions.
• BigML: It implements a user-friendly graphical interface, supports many storage providers (for instance, Amazon S3) and offers a wide variety of data processing tools, algorithms, and powerful visualizations.
• Microsoft Azure Machine Learning: This provides a large library of machine ...
