SUMMARY
Serving machine learning models is a scalability challenge at many companies. Most applications require a small number of machine learning models (often <100) to serve predictions. On the other hand, cloud platforms that support model serving, though they support hundreds of thousands of models, provision separate hardware for different customers. Salesforce has a unique challenge that only very few companies deal with; Salesforce needs to run hundreds of thousands of models sharing the underlying infrastructure for multiple tenants for cost-effectiveness.
