Deep Dive

End-to-end production deployment of an AI image-generation platform at Ofoto. Challenge: handle 500+ concurrent Stable Diffusion inference requests with consistent quality and sub-10s response times.

Architecture

Client (Vue.js) → Nginx (SSL + Load Balancing)
→ FastAPI (async queuing + background tasks)
→ Stable Diffusion Engine (Automatic1111 + ControlNet)
→ Docker containers (GPU-accelerated, CUDA 11.8)

Key Engineering Decisions

  1. Async request queuing with FastAPI background tasks — never blocks main thread
  2. Nginx keepalive connections — dramatically reduces overhead under high load
  3. Docker multi-stage build with CUDA 11.8 for reproducible GPU access
  4. Health-check endpoints for container orchestration and zero-downtime deploys
  5. ControlNet integration for image-conditioned generation (pose, depth, canny edges)
