vLLM is a high-throughput, memory-efficient LLM inference engine with PagedAttention. The standard for self-hosted LLM serving with continuous batching and speculative decoding.
Reviewer scorecard
“Serverless-specific observability that understood Lambda, Workers, and Vercel. Now part of Cloudflare's platform.”
“PagedAttention is a breakthrough for inference efficiency. The standard for production self-hosted LLM serving.”
“The acquisition validates the approach. Serverless needs purpose-built observability, not adapted APM tools.”
“If you're self-hosting LLMs, vLLM is the obvious choice. Battle-tested and actively maintained.”
“Observability built into the platform (Cloudflare, Vercel) rather than bolted on is the right direction.”
“Self-hosted inference will remain important for latency, cost, and privacy. vLLM is the infrastructure layer.”
