- Industrial serving features supported, such as models management, online loading, online A/B testing etc.
- Highly concurrent and efficient communication between clients and servers supported.
PaddleServing supports deployment in multiple languages. In this example, two deployment methods, python pipeline and C++, are provided. The comparison between the two is as follows:
| Language | Speed | Secondary development | Do you need to compile |
|-----|-----|---------|------------|
| C++ | fast | Slightly difficult | Single model prediction does not need to be compiled, multi-model concatenation needs to be compiled |
| python | general | easy | single-model/multi-model no compilation required |

Service deployment based on python obviously has the advantage of convenient secondary development. However, the real application often needs to pursue better performance. PaddleServing also provides a more performant C++ deployment version.
The C++ service deployment is the same as python in the environment setup and data preparation stages, the difference is when the service is started and the client sends requests.
