Performance manager to autonomously evaluate replacement algorithms

A method associated with a live environment executing a current algorithm, comprising:

• managing, by a lifecycle manager of a deployment platform implemented in an edge portion at an industrial site associated with the live environment, execution of the current algorithm in the live environment to create a data source;
• receiving, at a performance manager of the deployment platform, an indication of a selected at least one potential replacement algorithm from a pool of available algorithms in an algorithm data;
• managing, by the performance manager, execution of the at least one potential replacement algorithm in a shadow environment using the source data;
• and
• reporting, by the performance manager, performance information associated with the at least one potential replacement algorithm.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program code, the program code executable by a computer processor of an algorithm selection platform to cause the platform to perform a method associated with a live environment executing a current algorithm comprising:

• managing, by a lifecycle manager of a deployment platform implemented in an edge portion at an industrial site associated with the live environment, execution of the current algorithm in the live environment to create a data source;
• receiving, at a performance manager of the deployment platform, an indication of a selected at least one potential replacement algorithm from a pool of available algorithms in an algorithm data;
• managing, by the performance manager, execution of the at least one potential replacement algorithm in a shadow environment using the source data;
• and
• reporting, by the performance manager, performance information associated with the at least one potential replacement algorithm.
