Operationalizing Document AI: A Microservice Architecture for OCR and LLM Pipelines in Production
The article discusses a microservice architecture designed for operationalizing Document AI, focusing on OCR and large language model pipelines. It highlights the gap between model development and production deployment, proposing solutions to enhance efficiency. Key findings include the dominance of OCR in latency and the influence of GPU capacity on system performance.
- ▪The proposed architecture encapsulates pipelines for classification, OCR, and structured field extraction.
- ▪The authors emphasize the importance of asynchronous processing and independent scaling strategies.
- ▪Surprising findings indicate that OCR significantly impacts end-to-end latency.
