VARMAX-As-A-Service is an MLOps approach for the unification and reuse of statistical models and machine learning models deployment pipelines. It is the first of a series of articles that will be built on top of that project, representing experiments with various statistical and machine learning models, data pipelines implemented using existing DAG tools, and storage services, both cloud-based and alternative on-premises solutions. 

But what is VARMAX and statistical models in general and how are they different from machine learning models?
