AI Scaling

Foundations ✓Models ✓NLP & advanced ✓MLOps

MLOps · 4 — APIs & deploy · ~10 min · Module 10: MLOps & Cloud AI

What is this?

AI scaling adds inference replicas, queues heavy batch work, and right-sizes CPU vs GPU tiers.

Why should you care?

AIPredict forecast batch job and fraud API have different scale profiles.

See it live — copy this example

Use a .NET console or Web API project with Microsoft.ML. Run dotnet run after pasting.

builder.Services.AddPredictionEnginePool<TxRow, FraudPred>()
    .FromFile(modelPath)
    .Services.AddOptions<PredictionEnginePoolOptions>()
    .Configure(o => o.MaxObjects = Environment.ProcessorCount * 2);
// HPA: kubectl autoscale deployment fraud-api --cpu-percent=70 --min=2 --max=20

What happened?

  • Tune pool MaxObjects per core; HPA on API deployments; offload batch Transform to worker queue.
  • Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

  1. Set pool MaxObjects.
  2. HPA min/max pods.
  3. Queue batch scoring worker.
  4. Scale on custom latency metric.
  5. Separate worker pool for Transform.

Remember

Pool size tuning. HPA for API. Queue for batch.

AIPredict scale out

Fraud API scales 2→15 pods on load.

Outcome: p95 flat while RPS 8x.
