What is a model server?

Model servers are specialized software systems designed to deploy, manage, and serve machine learning models in production environments. They allow developers and organizations to expose trained models via APIs, enabling real-time predictions or batch processing for various applications. Model servers handle incoming requests, manage model versions, and ensure scalability, reliability, and security when serving models. Common examples include TensorFlow Serving, TorchServe, and NVIDIA Triton Inference Server.
