The outcome
Deploy only after measured traffic and quality evidence supports the dedicated GPU configuration.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Define model license and revision, workload, quality, tokens, batch, throughput, latency, availability, privacy, logging, GPU, scaling, cost, and rollback targets.
- 02
Benchmark the exact model through serverless APIs on representative traffic, capturing prompt length, output, errors, concurrency, tail latency, and cost.
- 03
Create a dedicated test endpoint with scoped credentials, pinned repository revision, content logging disabled unless approved, conservative token and batch settings, and bounded replicas.
- 04
Load-test cold start, autoscaling, memory, queueing, failures, output parity, privacy, observability, and spend, then compare with the serverless baseline.
- 05
Canary the endpoint, monitor the version, preserve serverless fallback, document update and termination procedures, and promote only after owner approval.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Pin the repository revision.
- Disable content logging by default.
- Keep the evaluated serverless fallback.
