Reviewer scorecard
“Solid Heroku alternative with better pricing. Auto-deploy from Git, managed Postgres, and Redis without the complexity.”
“Tight Hugging Face integration means easy model loading. Rust implementation provides good performance guarantees.”
“Reliable, well-priced, and boring in the best way. Free tier is useful for side projects.”
“vLLM has won the mindshare battle. TGI is solid but the community and ecosystem around vLLM are larger.”
“Not relevant for non-developers. Use Vercel or Netlify if you want frontend-first deployment.”
“Hugging Face's ecosystem play — models, datasets, spaces, inference — creates a compelling end-to-end platform.”
