At PayPal, achieving four nines of availability is the norm. In the pursuit of exponentially complex additional nines, the company has recently embarked on applying deep learning to forecasting datacenter metrics. Seq2Seq networks are ripe for application to this difficult problem, but little has been shared to the open community.
Aashish Sheshadri shines a light on how PayPal applies Seq2Seq networks to forecasting CPU and memory metrics at scale. Forecasting enables alerting flows to get a head start reducing MTTD, augment autoremidiation, and consequentially aid MTTR. In doing so Aashish describes the ecosystem and tooling that enables developers at PayPal to experiment, build and train ML models while creating reusable, reproducible and sharable work in the Jupiter and Kubernetes ecosystem.
