Fairness Metrics vs Performance Metrics
Developers should learn and use fairness metrics when building or deploying machine learning models in high-stakes domains where biased predictions could cause harm, such as in finance, healthcare, or employment meets developers should learn and use performance metrics to ensure their applications meet user expectations for speed and reliability, particularly in production environments where poor performance can lead to lost revenue or user churn. Here's our take.

Performance Metrics
Developers should learn and use performance metrics to ensure their applications meet user expectations for speed and reliability, particularly in production environments where poor performance can lead to lost revenue or user churn
Pros
- +This is critical for web applications, APIs, and microservices where metrics like load time and uptime directly impact user experience and business outcomes
- +Related to: application-performance-monitoring, load-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Fairness Metrics if: You want they are essential for regulatory compliance (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Performance Metrics if: You prioritize this is critical for web applications, apis, and microservices where metrics like load time and uptime directly impact user experience and business outcomes over what Fairness Metrics offers.
