Compared to batch serving, what advantage does streaming serving offer?

Lower latency because data is processed as it arrives

Simpler implementation because it does not require a pipeline

Lower cost because it uses less compute

Better for processing a large, finite dataset in one pass

What is the primary characteristic of realtime model serving?

Training a model on a large dataset

Providing low-latency predictions for individual, on-demand requests

Scoring data in micro-batches as it arrives

Processing a large dataset in a scheduled offline job

How does streaming model serving process data?

By training a new model on each incoming record

Only when a user makes an explicit request

In a single, large batch at a scheduled time

Incrementally, in near-real-time, as data arrives

Why is batch model serving often considered simpler than realtime or streaming serving?

It processes data in a straightforward, scheduled job without the need for low-latency infrastructure

It must maintain a highly available endpoint for on-demand requests

It requires complex infrastructure for handling continuous data streams

It eliminates the need for any data preprocessing

Which scenario is a typical use case for streaming model serving?

Scoring all historical transactions at the end of the month for a fraud report

Training a model on a static dataset

Returning a product recommendation when a user clicks a button

Flagging suspicious transactions in a live payment stream as they occur
