Reviewer scorecard
“Heroku DX on your own infrastructure. Docker-based deploys, SSL, and monitoring without cloud vendor lock-in.”
“RadixAttention and constrained decoding are powerful features. Performance benchmarks are competitive with vLLM.”
“If you want control over your infrastructure without raw Docker/K8s complexity, Coolify is the sweet spot.”
“Impressive research but smaller community than vLLM. The frontend language is interesting but adds complexity.”
“The self-hosting movement is growing. Coolify makes it accessible to developers who don't want to be sysadmins.”
“Constrained decoding and structured generation are the future of reliable LLM outputs. SGLang leads here.”
