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).

This results in expedited query execution, reduced resource utilization, and more efficient exploitation of the available hardware resources. This reduction in latency ensures that applications and websites provide a more rapid and responsive user experience. Another highly beneficial caching method is key-value caching.

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.

A resilient system continues to operate successfully in the presence of failures. The system needs to maintain a safety margin that is capable of absorbing failure via defense in depth, and failure modes need to be prioritized to take care of the most likely and highest impact risks. The first technique is the most generally useful.
