State of Routing in Model Serving

By Nipun Kumar, Rajat Shah, Peter ChngIntroductionThis is the first blog post in a multi-part series that shares technical insights into how our ML model serving infrastructure powers several personalized experiences at scale across various domains (e.g., title recommendations, commerce). In this introductory blog post, we will dive into our domain-independent API abstraction and its traffic routing capabilities that the central ML model serving platform exposes to several domain-specific mi...
