Trust report

Choose ai-serving if…

  • ai-serving is primarily Scala; Server is PHP.
  • License: ai-serving is Apache-2.0, Server is MIT.
  • Tags unique to ai-serving: ai-serving, grpc, inference-server, onnx.
  • When you need to serve models in both PMML and ONNX formats without manual configuration changes between formats.

When NOT to use ai-serving

  • Avoid if your team lacks familiarity or willingness to use Scala for deployment through sbt build system for customization needs.
  • Not suitable when only one model format, either PMML or ONNX but not both, is needed and a simpler solution would suffice.
  • If your project strictly requires a non-Dockerized setup that does not align with using pre-built Docker images.

Choose Server if…

  • Server is primarily PHP; ai-serving is Scala.
  • License: Server is MIT, ai-serving is Apache-2.0.
  • Tags unique to Server: api, http-server, inference-engine, infrastructure.
  • When you are working with machine learning models trained in the Rubix ML framework and need to deploy them via a PHP-based infrastructure.

When NOT to use Server

  • Avoid using if your primary technology stack is not based on PHP, as it would necessitate integration with a non-native language environment, increasing complexity.
  • Do not use this tool for large-scale deployments requiring high throughput and low latency typical of more robust languages like Python or Rust.
