TensorFlow Serving — when to use it?
mediumAnswer
- Google's TF model server.
- Features: (1) SavedModel format.
- (2) multi-model + versioning with staged rollout.
- (3) batching via config.
- (4) HTTP/REST + gRPC.
- (5) mature + battle-tested at Google.
- Downside: TF-only; less flexibility than Triton; declining share as PyTorch dominates.
- Still relevant for TF-based large orgs.
- Alternative: TF Serving in Triton (TF backend).
