Object Service¶

The 3LC Object Service is an application that runs separate from your training. It provides a REST API so that the Dashboard can request training data and any metrics captured during training. If the Dashboard is used to make revisions to your training data, the Object Service will also ensure that your Python code can access the modified training data through the tlc Python module by writing out the edited data as a new Table.

The Object Service runs locally on the client system and does not transfer training data outside client infrastructure. This ensures that none of your data ever leaves your system, guaranteeing privacy.

Starting the Object Service¶

If you have a simple setup, where the Object Service runs on the same machine as your training notebooks and scripts, simply follow the steps in Getting Started. For more complex scenarios, please see the Object Service Deployment Guide.
