Ted Dunning offers an overview of the rendezvous architecture, developed to be the "continuous integration" system for machine learning models. It allows always-hot zero latency rollout and rollback of new models and supports extensive metrics and diagnostics so models can be compared as they process production data. It can even hot-swap the framework itself with no downtime. Read more.
