# batching.

Batching groups multiple inference requests into one model call, trading a small amount of latency for a large increase in throughput. Dynamic batching collects requests arriving within a short window automatically.

## Where batching fits on a long engagement.

The throughput gain is disproportionate to the latency cost. Waiting ten milliseconds to collect a batch might multiply throughput several times over, which on GPU serving is the difference between one instance and several.

The trade has to be set per workload. An interactive interface has a tight latency budget; a background scoring job has effectively none, and should batch as aggressively as memory allows. Using one configuration for both leaves throughput or responsiveness on the table.

## What an assigned team does with batching.

Dynamic batching parameters need tuning against real traffic. The optimal window depends on arrival rate and its variability, and a setting chosen from a load test with uniform traffic will not match production.

Tuning against actual patterns rather than synthetic ones is ordinary operational rigour, held within an agreed [committed monthly capacity](https://azendo.co/pricing/).

## What we use batching for.

* Throughput multiplied for small latency A short collection window that substantially reduces the hardware needed.
* Different settings per workload Interactive and batch paths configured separately rather than sharing one compromise.
* Tuned against real traffic Window sizes set from production arrival patterns, not a uniform load test.

## How batching capacity is assigned.

Serving optimisation is assigned inside AI capacity, with batching configured per workload rather than set once globally.

## Roles we assign batching for

* [Model Deployment Engineer MLOps engineering](https://azendo.co/services/mlops-engineering/model-deployment-engineer/)

## Service lines it sits in

* [MLOps engineering](https://azendo.co/services/mlops-engineering/)

Capacity is agreed as a committed monthly capacity across a discipline, not per skill.
