This guide covers how rolling updates work for `DynamoGraphDeployment` (DGD) resources. Rolling updates allow you to update worker configurations (images, resources, environment variables, etc.) with minimal downtime by gradually replacing old pods with new ones.
The behavior of rolling updates depends on the backing resource type of your deployment. DGDs backed by Kubernetes Deployments benefit from **managed rolling updates** with namespace isolation, while Grove and LWS-backed deployments use their native update mechanisms.
Dynamo components (frontends, workers, planner) need to be able to discover each other and their capabilities at runtime. We refer to this as service discovery. There are 2 kinds of service discovery backends supported on Kubernetes.
The Mocker is a lightweight, high-fidelity simulation of an LLM inference engine, implemented entirely in Rust. It replicates the core scheduling, memory management, and timing behaviors of production engines without requiring a GPU, making it invaluable for testing Dynamo's routing, KV cache events, disaggregated serving, and planner components.
Dynamo provides built-in metrics capabilities through the Dynamo metrics API, which is automatically available whenever you use the `DistributedRuntime` framework. This document serves as a reference for all available metrics in Dynamo.
Dynamo supports OpenTelemetry-based distributed tracing for visualizing request flows across Frontend and Worker components. Traces are exported to Tempo via OTLP (OpenTelemetry Protocol) and visualized in Grafana.
This document provides a comprehensive inventory of all Dynamo release artifacts including container images, Python wheels, Helm charts, and Rust crates.
