Production reliability comes from explicit boundaries, contracts, evidence, and recovery behavior—not from treating the model call as the system boundary.
Reference Architecture
A concrete layered blueprint with lifecycle, planes, controls, and failure handling.
Runtime Architecture
Architectural concepts, component boundaries, contracts, and topology trade-offs.
Control and Execution Planes
Ownership, data flow, configuration safety, and runtime-plane isolation.
Deployment Patterns
Cloud, data center, local, browser, edge, serverless, air-gapped, and hybrid patterns.
Security and Governance
Identity, tenant isolation, authorization, data handling, sandboxing, audit, and incident response.
Runtime Observability
Infrastructure, model, tool, policy, business-outcome, and evaluation telemetry.
Evaluation
Offline, online, policy, quality, safety, and outcome evaluation with versioned fixtures.
Benchmarking
Scoped latency, throughput, quality, cost, power, and reproducibility requirements.
Cost and Capacity Planning
Memory, concurrency, queues, utilization, budget, and workload capacity models.
Runtime Selection Guide
Requirements-driven architecture selection without a universal product ranking.
Failure Recovery
Detection, retry, idempotency, rollback, compensation, escalation, and evidence.
