Context
ANPR workloads were processed onsite with constrained infrastructure and intermittent network links.
Problem
Runtime drift and manual deployment steps caused intermittent failures and reduced confidence in outputs.
What I changed
- Standardized runtime packaging for edge nodes.
- Introduced health checks and deployment verification gates.
- Added lightweight telemetry for failed reads and processing latency.
Result
- Fewer failed recognition windows.
- Faster detection of degraded nodes.
- Safer deploy process for onsite updates.
Stack
Linux, Docker, systemd, Bash, Prometheus exporters.
Notes
Consistency at the edge required strict environment parity and explicit rollback paths.
