Banana to sunset their serverless GPU platform
- luke-stanley 3y agoBanana announce their market withdrawal from the serverless GPU providers market, citing business dynamics and Erik Dunteman recommends alternate services: API Route: OpenAI, Replicate for ease & efficiency; skipping custom infra. Custom Code and infra: Runpod (easy switch), Modal (their favourite but has opinionated SDK), AWS Sagemaker (stability), KServe ( open-source, "banana-like"), Shadeform.ai (multi-cloud API without multi-account setup), Brev.dev (interactive notebook for development, HTTPS exposed ports). I think it's really interesting when a startup announces their exit from a market and gives their opinions on their place in it, and the relative comparison of the alternatives because they know a fair bit about their market and the behind the scenes details.
