Reviewer scorecard
“For apps that need full server control — WebSocket servers, background workers, AI inference — Fly.io gives you the flexibility that serverless platforms don't.”
“RadixAttention and constrained decoding are powerful features. Performance benchmarks are competitive with vLLM.”
“The DX has improved massively but it's still more complex than Vercel. You need to understand Docker and infrastructure. Not for beginners.”
“Impressive research but smaller community than vLLM. The frontend language is interesting but adds complexity.”
“Fly.io is the answer for workloads that don't fit the serverless model. As AI inference goes local-first, having servers in 30+ regions matters.”
“Constrained decoding and structured generation are the future of reliable LLM outputs. SGLang leads here.”
