BentoML
Open-source framework for packaging and serving ML models as production inference APIs, with a paid managed cloud option.
BentoML is a model-serving and packaging tool, not an experiment tracker or a monitoring product: it takes a trained model and packages it, along with its dependencies and inference logic, into a "Bento" that runs as a REST or gRPC API service. It handles adaptive batching, multi-model composition, and GPU-aware autoscaling for inference workloads, and supports classic ML models as well as LLM and generative-AI serving patterns. The open-source BentoML framework is self-hosted and free; BentoCloud is a separate, commercially managed inference platform built on the same framework that runs deployments on managed or bring-your-own-cloud infrastructure. It is commonly paired with an experiment tracker (for training) and an orchestrator like Kubeflow (for pipelines) rather than replacing them.
