vLLM is a high-throughput, memory-efficient LLM inference engine with PagedAttention. The standard for self-hosted LLM serving with continuous batching and speculative decoding.
Reviewer scorecard
“Write IaC in TypeScript with full IDE support, loops, conditionals, and testing. No DSL to learn.”
“PagedAttention is a breakthrough for inference efficiency. The standard for production self-hosted LLM serving.”
“Using real programming languages for IaC makes sense. The Terraform-to-Pulumi converter eases migration.”
“If you're self-hosting LLMs, vLLM is the obvious choice. Battle-tested and actively maintained.”
“AI can write TypeScript better than HCL. Pulumi's approach is more natural for the AI-assisted future.”
“Self-hosted inference will remain important for latency, cost, and privacy. vLLM is the infrastructure layer.”
