Prove a deployment before expanding

Start with one test device and define success and recovery criteria.

Process overview
  1. CompatibilityCheck format, engine and capacity
  2. Representative testDeploy, serve and inspect results
  3. Controlled rolloutMonitor and preserve a recovery option

Read the deployment-planning guide

Start with a test device​

  1. Confirm the model's compatibility and the target device's available capacity.
  2. Deploy and serve it.
  3. Send representative inputs and check response quality, latency and failure handling.
  4. Record the model, Link version, configuration and observed results.

For organisation devices, use configuration revisions and rollouts.

Plan for interruptions​

Decide how your application handles an unavailable endpoint, a stopped model or a device update. Test that behaviour before depending on the service. Redundancy and failover require an application and deployment design; they are not implied by registering more devices.

Monitor the outcome​

Watch device reachability, resource use and deployment errors in Control. Measure request latency and failures in your application too.

Define acceptance and rollback criteria for your workload before a wider rollout. Keep the previous working configuration and model available; do not assume stopping a rollout reverses changes already applied.
