Scalable Inference Serving
A collection of APIs, frameworks, and platforms for scalable machine learning model inference serving, deployment, and management. This includes the KServe Open Inference Protocol (the CNCF standard for model serving on Kubernetes), BentoML (developer packaging and serving), vLLM (high-throughput LLM inference), NVIDIA Triton Inference Server, and supporting observability and registry tools. KServe recently joined CNCF as an incubating project (November 2025).
Scalable Inference Serving publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Health API, Inference API, Metadata API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, CNCF, Deployment, Inference, and Kubernetes.
The Scalable Inference Serving catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Scalable Inference Serving’s developer surface includes authentication, getting-started guide, engineering blog, and 13 more developer resources.
