Infrarix Deploy: Effortless AI Model Deployment
A comprehensive guide to Infrarix Deploy — ship AI models to production with one command, zero DevOps, and automatic scaling across 12+ global regions.
Introduction
Deploying AI models to production is still one of the hardest parts of the ML lifecycle. Teams spend weeks configuring infrastructure, writing Dockerfiles, setting up load balancers, and debugging GPU drivers — all before serving a single inference request.
Infrarix Deploy eliminates this complexity. Push your model, define your endpoints, and Deploy handles everything: containerization, scaling, GPU allocation, health checks, and global distribution.
The Deployment Gap
Most AI teams hit the same bottlenecks:
- Infrastructure complexity: Kubernetes, GPU drivers, CUDA versions, Docker images
- Scaling challenges: Cold starts, auto-scaling policies, resource waste
- No standardization: Every model has a different serving framework
- Cost overruns: GPU instances running 24/7 even with intermittent traffic
- Security gaps: Exposed endpoints, no auth, no rate limiting
How Infrarix Deploy Works
1. Push Your Model
Upload model weights, a serving configuration, and optional pre/post processing scripts. Deploy supports PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, and any custom inference server.
2. Define Endpoints
Specify your endpoint configuration: hardware requirements (CPU, GPU type, memory), scaling policies (min/max replicas, scale-to-zero), and request settings.
3. Deploy & Serve
Deploy handles containerization, GPU scheduling, health checks, load balancing, and SSL termination. Your model is live in seconds with a production-ready API endpoint.
Quick Start
# Install CLI
npm install -g @infrarix/cli
# Login
infrarix login
# Deploy a model
infrarix deploy \
--name my-llm \
--framework pytorch \
--gpu a100 \
--replicas 1-10 \
--scale-to-zero \
./model/Your model is now live at:

Scale to Zero
When traffic drops to zero, Deploy scales down to zero replicas — you only pay for actual usage. Cold starts are optimized with pre-warmed containers.
GPU Scheduling
Deploy intelligently schedules workloads across GPU types (A100, H100, T4) based on your model requirements and budget preferences.
Blue/Green Deployments
Roll out new model versions with zero downtime. Canary deployments let you route a percentage of traffic to the new version before full rollout.
Built-in Observability
Every inference request is logged with latency, throughput, GPU utilization, and error rates. Set up alerts for SLA breaches.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast are cold starts?
Cold starts depend on model size. Small models (<1GB) start in under 5 seconds. Large models (>10GB) use pre-warmed containers to start in under 15 seconds.
Can I use my own GPU instances?
Enterprise plans support bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) with Deploy managing orchestration on your infrastructure.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The free tier includes 100 GPU-hours per month on T4 instances, perfect for development and testing.
