hate managing Kubernetes for model serving

Totally fair — Kubernetes can be a lot when all you want is to serve models reliably.
If you’re looking to avoid the Kubernetes ops burden, a few common alternatives are:
- Managed model serving platforms: SageMaker, Vertex AI, Azure ML, Databricks Model Serving
- Simple container hosting: Cloud Run, ECS/Fargate, App Runner, Fly.io, Render
- Dedicated inference servers: vLLM, TGI, Triton, BentoML, KServe alternatives
- Serverless inference APIs: if latency/cost tradeoffs are acceptable
If you want, I can help you pick the best option based on:
- model type (LLM / CV / tabular / embeddings),
- traffic pattern,
- GPU need,
- latency target,
- cloud/provider preference.
Or I can suggest a lowest-ops architecture for serving models without Kubernetes.
