# Phase 4: Production (Weeks 25-32)

> **Status**: ✅ Complete
>
> Production-ready deployment infrastructure with multi-model serving, monitoring, Docker/Kubernetes support, and comprehensive load testing.

## Overview

Phase 4 transforms Realizar from a prototype inference engine into a production-ready ML serving platform. This phase adds:

- **Multi-model serving**: ModelRegistry with concurrent access and thread-safe operations
- **Request batching**: Batch tokenize and generate endpoints for efficient processing
- **Monitoring & metrics**: Prometheus-compatible /metrics endpoint with request tracking
- **Docker + GPU support**: Containerized deployment with NVIDIA GPU support
- **Load testing**: Comprehensive HTTP API load testing infrastructure

## Key Features

### 1. Multi-Model Serving

`ModelRegistry` enables serving multiple models concurrently with thread-safe access:

```rust
use realizar::api::ModelRegistry;
use std::sync::Arc;

// Create registry
let registry = Arc::new(ModelRegistry::new());

// Register models
let model = Model::new(config)?;
registry.register("llama-1b".to_string(), model);

// Access models (thread-safe)
if let Some(model) = registry.get("llama-1b") {
    let result = model.generate(&prompt, &config)?;
}

// List available models
let models = registry.list();
```

**Implementation**: `src/api/registry.rs`

**Features**:
- Thread-safe concurrent access via `Arc<RwLock<HashMap>>`
- O(1) model lookup
- Dynamic model registration/unregistration
- Model metadata tracking

**Tests**: 8 comprehensive tests including concurrent access

### 2. Request Batching

Batch endpoints process multiple requests efficiently:

#### Batch Tokenize

```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/batch/tokenize \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "texts": [
      "Hello world",
      "How are you?",
      "Machine learning is great"
    ]
  }'
```

Response:
```json
{
  "tokens": [
    [1, 15043, 3186],
    [1, 1128, 526, 366, 29973],
    [1, 6189, 6509, 338, 2107]
  ]
}
```

#### Batch Generate

```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/batch/generate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompts": ["Hello", "Hi there"],
    "max_tokens": 10,
    "strategy": "greedy"
  }'
```

Response:
```json
{
  "generations": [
    "Hello world! How can I help you today?",
    "Hi there! What can I do for you?"
  ]
}
```

**Implementation**: `src/api/batch.rs`

**Performance**:
- Processes requests sequentially (Phase 4 baseline)
- Future: Parallel processing with batch matrix operations
- Reduces HTTP overhead for multiple requests

### 3. Monitoring & Metrics

Prometheus-compatible `/metrics` endpoint tracks:

#### Request Metrics

```promql
# Total requests by endpoint
http_requests_total{endpoint="/generate",method="POST"}

# Request duration histogram
http_request_duration_seconds{endpoint="/generate",le="0.5"}

# Requests in flight
http_requests_in_flight{endpoint="/generate"}
```

#### Example Metrics Output

```
# HELP http_requests_total Total number of HTTP requests
# TYPE http_requests_total counter
http_requests_total{method="POST",endpoint="/generate"} 1234
http_requests_total{method="POST",endpoint="/tokenize"} 5678
http_requests_total{method="GET",endpoint="/health"} 9012

# HELP http_request_duration_seconds Request duration in seconds
# TYPE http_request_duration_seconds histogram
http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{endpoint="/generate",le="0.1"} 456
http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{endpoint="/generate",le="0.5"} 1123
http_request_duration_seconds_bucket{endpoint="/generate",le="1.0"} 1234

# HELP http_requests_in_flight Number of requests currently being processed
# TYPE http_requests_in_flight gauge
http_requests_in_flight{endpoint="/generate"} 3
```

**Implementation**: `src/api/metrics.rs`

**Integration**: Prometheus, Grafana, or any metrics collector

**Dashboards**: Pre-built Grafana dashboards in `monitoring/grafana/`

### 4. Docker + GPU Support

make load-test

# Or use script directly
./scripts/load_test.sh
```

#### Test Scenarios

1. **Health Check Load**: 10 concurrent clients, 100 requests
2. **Tokenize Load**: 5 concurrent clients, 50 requests
3. **Generate Load**: 5 concurrent clients, 25 requests
4. **Batch Tokenize**: 5 clients, 25 requests (3 texts each)
5. **Batch Generate**: 3 clients, 15 requests (2 prompts each)
6. **Sustained Load**: 30 seconds, 10 clients, 200 requests
7. **Spike Traffic**: 2x baseline → 20x spike

#### Metrics Collected

For each scenario:
- **Latency percentiles**: p50, p95, p99, max
- **Throughput**: Requests per second
- **Reliability**: Success rate, error rate

#### Example Output

```
=== Load Test Results ===
Total requests: 100
Successes: 98
Failures: 2
Duration: 12.34s
Throughput: 7.94 req/s
Error rate: 2.00%

Latency Percentiles:
  p50: 89.23ms
  p95: 156.78ms
