With reference to the abstract idea of model calculation of the TensorFlow framework, the business logic is abstracted into a DAG diagram, driven by configuration, generating a workflow, and skipping C ++ code compilation. Each specific step of the service corresponds to a specific OP. The OP can configure the upstream OP that it depends on. Unified message passing between OPs is achieved by the thread-level bus and channel mechanisms. For example, the service process of a simple prediction service can be abstracted into 3 steps including reading request data-> calling the prediction interface-> writing back the prediction result, and correspondingly implemented to 3 OP: ReaderOp-> ClassifyOp-> WriteOp
Regarding the dependencies between OPs, and the establishment of workflows through OPs, you can refer to [从零开始写一个预测服务](./deprecated/CREATING.md)(simplified Chinese Version)
Paddle Serving instances can load multiple models at the same time, and each model uses a Service (and its configured workflow) to undertake services. You can refer to [service configuration file in Demo example](../tools/cpp_examples/demo-serving/conf/service.prototxt) to learn how to configure multiple services for the serving instance

From the client's perspective, a Paddle Serving service can be divided into three levels: Service, Endpoint, and Variant from top to bottom.
One Service corresponds to one inference model, and there is one endpoint under the model. Different versions of the model are implemented through multiple variant concepts under endpoint:
The same model prediction service can configure multiple variants, and each variant has its own downstream IP list. The client code can configure relative weights for each variant to achieve the relationship of adjusting the traffic ratio (refer to the description of variant_weight_list in [Client Configuration](./deprecated/CLIENT_CONFIGURE.md) section 3.2).
