Highlights

🍭 Unified Model Serving API

• Framework-agnostic model packaging for Tensorflow, PyTorch, XGBoost, Scikit-Learn, ONNX, and many more!
• Write custom Python code alongside model inference for pre/post-processing and business logic
• Apply the same code for online(REST API or gRPC), offline batch, and streaming inference
• Simple abstractions for building multi-model inference pipelines or graphs

🚂 Standardized process for a frictionless transition to production

• Build Bento as the standard deployable artifact for ML services
• Automatically generate docker images with the desired dependencies
• Easy CUDA setup for inference with GPU
• Rich integration with the MLOps ecosystem, including Kubeflow, Airflow, MLFlow, Triton

🏹 Scalable with powerful performance optimizations

• Adaptive batching dynamically groups inference requests on server-side optimal performance
• Runner abstraction scales model inference separately from your custom code
• Maximize your GPU and multi-core CPU utilization with automatic provisioning

🎯 Deploy anywhere in a DevOps-friendly way

• Streamline production deployment workflow via:
  • ☁️ BentoML Cloud: the fastest way to deploy your bento, simple and at scale
  • 🦄️ Yatai: Model Deployment at scale on Kubernetes
  • 🚀 bentoctl: Fast model deployment on AWS SageMaker, Lambda, ECE, GCP, Azure, Heroku, and more!
• Run offline batch inference jobs with Spark or Dask
• Built-in support for Prometheus metrics and OpenTelemetry
• Flexible APIs for advanced CI/CD workflows

How it works

Save your trained model with BentoML:

import bentoml

saved_model = bentoml.pytorch.save_model(
    "demo_mnist", # model name in the local model store
    model, # model instance being saved
)

print(f"Model saved: {saved_model}")
# Model saved: Model(tag="demo_mnist:3qee3zd7lc4avuqj", path="~/bentoml/models/demo_mnist/3qee3zd7lc4avuqj/")

Define a prediction service in a service.py file:

import numpy as np
import bentoml
from bentoml.io import NumpyNdarray, Image
from PIL.Image import Image as PILImage

mnist_runner = bentoml.pytorch.get("demo_mnist:latest").to_runner()

svc = bentoml.Service("pytorch_mnist", runners=[mnist_runner])

@svc.api(input=Image(), output=NumpyNdarray(dtype="int64"))
def predict(input_img: PILImage):
    img_arr = np.array(input_img)/255.0
    input_arr = np.expand_dims(img_arr, 0).astype("float32")
    output_tensor = mnist_runner.predict.run(input_arr)
    return output_tensor.numpy()

Create a bentofile.yaml build file for your ML service:

service: "service:svc"
include:
  - "*.py"
python:
  packages:
    - numpy
    - torch
    - Pillow

Now, run the prediction service:

bentoml serve

Sent a prediction request:

curl -F 'image=@samples/1.png' http://127.0.0.1:3000/predict

Build a Bento and generate a docker image:

$ bentoml build
Successfully built Bento(tag="pytorch_mnist:4mymorgurocxjuqj") at "~/bentoml/bentos/pytorch_mnist/4mymorgurocxjuqj/"

$ bentoml containerize pytorch_mnist:4mymorgurocxjuqj
Successfully built docker image "pytorch_mnist:4mymorgurocxjuqj"

$ docker run -p 3000:3000 pytorch_mnist:4mymorgurocxjuqj
Starting production BentoServer from "pytorch_mnist:4mymorgurocxjuqj" running on http://0.0.0.0:3000

Usage Reporting

BentoML collects usage data that helps our team to improve the product. Only BentoML's internal API calls are being reported. We strip out as much potentially sensitive information as possible, and we will never collect user code, model data, model names, or stack traces. Here's the code for usage tracking. You can opt-out of usage tracking by the --do-not-track CLI option:

bentoml [command] --do-not-track

Or by setting environment variable BENTOML_DO_NOT_TRACK=True:

export BENTOML_DO_NOT_TRACK=True
