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.
| 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 |
1. Compile Serving
To improve predictive performance, C++ services also provide multiple model concatenation services. Unlike Python Pipeline services, multiple model concatenation requires the pre - and post-model processing code to be written on the server side, so local recompilation is required to generate serving. Specific may refer to the official document: [how to compile Serving](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Serving/blob/v0.8.3/doc/Compile_EN.md)
2. Run the following command to start the service.
```
# Start the service and save the running log in log.txt
After the service is successfully started, a log similar to the following will be printed in log.txt
3. Send service request
Due to the need for pre and post-processing in the C++Server part, in order to speed up the input to the C++Server is only the base64 encoded string of the picture, it needs to be manually modified
Change the feed_type field and shape field in ppocrv2_det_client/serving_client_conf.prototxt to the following:
After successfully running, the predicted result of the model will be printed in the cmd window. An example of the result is:
## WINDOWS Users
## WINDOWS Users
Windows does not support Pipeline Serving, if we want to lauch paddle serving on Windows, we should use Web Service, for more infomation please refer to [Paddle Serving for Windows Users](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Serving/blob/develop/doc/Windows_Tutorial_EN.md)
