Reviewer scorecard
“The dashboard ecosystem is unmatched. Prometheus + Grafana is the standard stack for infrastructure monitoring.”
“RadixAttention and constrained decoding are powerful features. Performance benchmarks are competitive with vLLM.”
“Open source keeps you honest on pricing. Grafana Cloud is competitive with Datadog at a fraction of the cost.”
“Impressive research but smaller community than vLLM. The frontend language is interesting but adds complexity.”
“The LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir) is a credible open-source alternative to the entire Datadog suite.”
“Constrained decoding and structured generation are the future of reliable LLM outputs. SGLang leads here.”
