The Future of AI Architecture
How event-driven microservices are enabling the next generation of AI applications.
The landscape of AI architecture is shifting rapidly. As models grow larger and inference demands increase, the traditional monolithic serving patterns are becoming obsolete.
The Event-Driven Shift
By decoupling inference services from the main application via event streams (like Apache Kafka or Amazon EventBridge), we can achieve:
- Async Processing: Removing blocking calls from the critical path.
- Elastic Scalability: Scaling inference workers independently of the web tier.
- Resilience: Buffering requests during traffic spikes.
