As we saw with the SOAP paper last time out, even with a fixed model variant and hardware there are a lot of different ways to map a training workload over the available hardware. Managed here means that the system automates resource provisioning for models to match a set of SLO constraints (cf. autoscaling).

In a nutshell, a data pipeline is a distributed system. A data pipeline is a software which runs on hardware. The software is error-prone and hardware failures are inevitable. Every time data spikes - a phenomenon which will be not predictable in most cases - overall latency to process the data using data pipeline will go up.
