BentoML — The Unified Model Serving Framework for AI Apps and Model Inference APIs

Overview

BentoML is a Python library designed to simplify the process of building online serving systems for AI applications and model inference. It enables developers to quickly turn any model inference script into a REST API server, manage environments and dependencies with ease, and optimize CPU/GPU utilization for high-performance inference APIs.

Key Features

Easily build APIs for any AI/ML model with minimal code.
Simplify Docker container management for environment and dependency control.
Leverage built-in serving optimization features like dynamic batching and model parallelism.
Implement custom APIs or task queues with full support for any ML framework and inference runtime.
Develop locally and deploy to production with Docker containers or BentoCloud.

Use Cases

Machine Learning Engineers: Deploying custom AI models as REST APIs for real-time inference.
Data Scientists: Creating and serving multi-model pipelines for complex data processing tasks.
DevOps Teams: Managing model versions and environments with Docker for reproducible deployments.

Advantages

Reduces the complexity of serving AI models with a few lines of code.
Enhances performance with built-in optimization for dynamic batching and model parallelism.
Provides a customizable framework that supports any ML framework and inference runtime.

Limitations / Considerations

Requires Python 3.9 or higher, which may not be compatible with all legacy systems.
The learning curve might be steep for developers new to Python or AI model serving.

MLflow: An open-source platform for managing the ML lifecycle, including model serving, but with a different focus on workflow management.
TensorFlow Serving: A solution for serving machine learning models in production, but limited to TensorFlow models.
TorchServe: A flexible serving solution for PyTorch models, but without the multi-model pipeline capabilities of BentoML.
