Choose ai-serving if…
- ai-serving is primarily Scala; server is Python.
- License: ai-serving is Apache-2.0, server is BSD-3-Clause.
- 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 Python; ai-serving is Scala.
- License: server is BSD-3-Clause, ai-serving is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to server: cloud, datacenter, deep-learning, edge.
- When deploying models requiring NVIDIA GPU optimizations for real-time or batched workloads across various environments
When NOT to use server
- If seeking a solution not tied specifically to NVIDIA GPUs and related ecosystem tools
- In scenarios where a non-GPU supported, lightweight serving framework is preferred
