Building Reliable Real-Time Vision Pipelines

Overshoot provides real-time vision inference for applications built on live video.

A production video pipeline must expect interruption. Cameras pause, streams reconnect, resolutions change, and networks deliver bursts after congestion. Treat those conditions as normal instead of exceptional.

Preserve time and identity

Give every source a stable identifier and carry capture timestamps through the pipeline. Detect stale frames, keep queues bounded, and make downstream actions idempotent so retries do not duplicate side effects.

Test recovery

Exercise short interruptions, long outages, format changes, and slow consumers. Track dropped frames, reconnects, result age, and end-to-end latency. These signals make it easier to separate a source problem from an inference problem.

The Overshoot developer documentation contains current integration resources.
