Latency, Throughput, and Cost Trade-offs
Pick the pattern that fits your SLAs and budget.
Three Dials to Balance
Every serving choice juggles three things: latency, throughput, and cost. Push hard on one and you usually move the other two.
Latency Defined
Latency is the time for a single prediction to come back. Low latency feels snappy; high latency makes users and downstream systems wait.
