Decision brief
BudgetML is a Python library that facilitates the deployment of machine learning inference services using Google Cloud Preemptible instances, offering significant cost reductions.
Good fit when
- When you need to deploy machine learning inference services with a tight budget, as BudgetML can reduce costs by up to 80 percent using Google Cloud Preemptible instances.
- If your project involves memory-intensive tasks like ML model inference functions and you are looking for cost-effective solutions, BudgetML can save you up to $370 per month with the highest instance
Avoid when
- If your application cannot tolerate the risk of instance preemption, as BudgetML relies on Google Cloud Preemptible instances that can be terminated with short notice.
- When you require high availability and reliability, as preemptible instances can be interrupted, which might not be suitable for mission-critical applications.
- Pricing:
- freemium - BudgetML is free to use under the Apache-2.0 license, but users must cover the cost of Google Cloud Preemptible instances, which can be up to 80 percent cheaper than regular instances.
- Requirements:
- Min 4 GB RAM; Requires access to Google Cloud Preemptible instances.
