Reviewer scorecard
“Best documentation in cloud computing. Tutorials alone make it worth recommending. Simple, predictable pricing.”
“RadixAttention and constrained decoding are powerful features. Performance benchmarks are competitive with vLLM.”
“Not for enterprise scale but for startups and indie projects, the simplicity and pricing are unbeatable.”
“Impressive research but smaller community than vLLM. The frontend language is interesting but adds complexity.”
“Squeezed between hyper-scalers above and serverless platforms below. The mid-market IaaS space is shrinking.”
“Constrained decoding and structured generation are the future of reliable LLM outputs. SGLang leads here.”
