by Tomasz Bak and Fabio Kung Introduction Titus is the Netflix cloud container runtime that runs and manages containers at scale. In that scenario, the system would need to deal with the data propagation latency directly, for example, by use of timeouts or client-originated update tracking mechanisms.

While techniques like federated learning are on the horizon, to avoid latency issues and mass data collection, it remains to be seen whether those techniques are satisfactory for companies that collect data. Until we acknowledge that hardware put in a home is different from a cloud service, we will never get it right.
