Unified Model Serving Framework#

What is BentoML?#

BentoML makes it easy to create ML-powered prediction services that are ready to deploy and scale.

Data Scientists and ML Engineers use BentoML to:

Accelerate and standardize the process of taking ML models to production
Build scalable and high performance prediction services
Continuously deploy, monitor, and operate prediction services in production

Learn BentoML#

A simple example of using BentoML in action. In under 10 minutes, you’ll be able to serve your ML model over an HTTP API endpoint, and build a docker image that is ready to be deployed in production.

Why are we building BentoML?#

Model deployment is one of the last and most important stages in the machine learning life cycle: only by putting a machine learning model into a production environment and making predictions for end applications, the full potential of ML can be realized.

Sitting at the intersection of data science and engineering, model deployment introduces new operational challenges between these teams. Data scientists, who are typically responsible for building and training the model, often don’t have the expertise to bring it into production. At the same time, engineers, who aren’t used to working with models that require continuous iteration and improvement, find it challenging to leverage their know-how and common practices (like CI/CD) to deploy them. As the two teams try to meet halfway to get the model over the finish line, time-consuming and error-prone workflows can often be the result, slowing down the pace of progress.

We at BentoML want to get your ML models shipped in a fast, repeatable, and scalable way. BentoML is designed to streamline the handoff to production deployment, making it easy for developers and data scientists alike to test, deploy, and integrate their models with other systems.

With BentoML, data scientists can focus primarily on creating and improving their models, while giving deployment engineers peace of mind that nothing in the deployment logic is changing and that production service is stable.
