Inferless allows you to process multiple requests concurrently by the same replica. This can help you improve the throughput of your model and handle multiple requests simultaneously. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to configure your model to handle concurrent requests. There are 2 ways to configure concurrent requests in Inferless:
  • ** Sequentical Processing with Queue**
  • ** Batch Processing with Queue **

​
Sequential Processing with Queue

This is the simplest way to process multiple requests with the same replica. In this method, the requests are processed sequentially by the same replica. This is useful when you have task that takes less time to process. To configure this you can go to Model Import -> Settings Set the Container Concurrency to ‘desired_number’ and click on Update. You can set any value between 1 to 100.

​
Batch Processing with Queue

This method processes the requests in batches by the same replica. This is useful when you have tasks that take longer to process and want to process multiple requests simultaneously.

​
Step 1: Preparing the model to handle concurrent requests

Define the BATCH_SIZE and BATCH_WINDOW in the input_schema.py input_schema.py
More on batching can be found here

​
Step 2: Configuring the model to handle concurrent requests

Go to Model Import -> Settings Set the Container Concurrency to ‘desired_number’ if. e 4 and click on Update. You can set any value between 1 to 100.
