Question 36
UnclassifiedA REST API model serving pattern is best suited for:
Correct answer: B
Explanation
REST APIs use a request-response model, so each call waits for an immediate reply. That makes them best for "low-latency" synchronous predictions where a client sends a request and receives a prediction right away.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Bulk overnight scoring of millions of records
B. Low-latency, request-response synchronous predictions
REST is defined by an HTTP request/response interaction, so the client blocks until the server returns a result in the same call. In model serving, that makes it appropriate when the prediction must be returned immediately with minimal round-trip delay, rather than queued or processed asynchronously; no batch window or callback mechanism is involved.
C. Storing the model file
D. Training the model
