Reviewer scorecard
“Heroku DX on your own infrastructure. Docker-based deploys, SSL, and monitoring without cloud vendor lock-in.”
“Tight Hugging Face integration means easy model loading. Rust implementation provides good performance guarantees.”
“If you want control over your infrastructure without raw Docker/K8s complexity, Coolify is the sweet spot.”
“vLLM has won the mindshare battle. TGI is solid but the community and ecosystem around vLLM are larger.”
“The self-hosting movement is growing. Coolify makes it accessible to developers who don't want to be sysadmins.”
“Hugging Face's ecosystem play — models, datasets, spaces, inference — creates a compelling end-to-end platform.”
