BentoML is a Python framework for building online serving systems for AI apps and model inference, turning model inference scripts into REST API servers with minimal code. It packages models and dependencies into reproducible Docker containers and provides serving optimizations like dynamic batching, multi-model orchestration, and scaling features.

Use cases

• serve a machine learning model as a REST API
• deploy LLM inference endpoints with vLLM
• build multi-model inference pipelines
• package ML models into Docker containers for deployment
• run batch inference job queues
• deploy Stable Diffusion or RAG applications as APIs
• scale model inference with autoscaling and dynamic batching
• serve models on GPU with optimized utilization

When to choose

• you need to turn Python model inference code into production API servers quickly
• you want reproducible Docker packaging and deployment for ML models
• you need high-performance serving with batching, parallelism, and multi-model composition
• you serve LLMs or generative AI models and want day-one support for new open models
• you want to deploy to Kubernetes, your own cloud, or a managed inference platform

When to avoid

• you only need lightweight model training or experimentation without serving
• you need a non-Python serving stack
• you want a fully managed inference service with zero infrastructure code
• your workload is simple enough that a plain FastAPI wrapper suffices
