Overview

TorchServe is a flexible and easy-to-use tool for serving PyTorch models. It provides capabilities for packaging models, scaling workers based on hardware availability, and managing multiple model versions via a REST/gRPC API.

When to Use

Use TorchServe when you need a production-ready inference server that handles multi-GPU load balancing, request batching, and custom preprocessing/postprocessing logic via Python handlers.

Decision Tree

  1. Do you need custom logic for image resizing or JSON parsing before model inference?
    • OVERRIDE: preprocess() in a class inheriting from BaseHandler.
  2. Do you have multiple GPUs available?
    • RELY: On TorchServe's round-robin assignment; check the gpu_id in the handler context.
  3. Do you want to deploy to a system with limited resources?
    • CAUTION: TorchServe is in limited maintenance; check environment compatibility.
