E-commerce operates at internet scale with seasonal spikes that would crash most inference infrastructure. Black Friday means 100,000+ concurrent users hitting recommendation engines, search ranking models, product categorization systems, and dynamic pricing algorithms — all simultaneously.

Agent-aware scheduling for multi-stage recommendation pipelines. Structured output for JSON product categorization feeds. Tool calling for real-time inventory lookup. The inference engine that retail infrastructure teams have been waiting for — and the one their CFOs can actually budget for.
