There are many open-source projects across inference, orchestration, observability, vector search, data pipelines, evaluation, and model management. Most are relatively easy to test, but production operation is a different problem.

For those running open-source AI infrastructure in production:

- What are you running, for what workload, and would you recommend?

- Do you operate yourself versus consume as a managed service?

- Have you replaced or abandoned any tools because they were too difficult or expensive to operate?

- What problems only appeared after moving beyond the prototype stage?

- Anything that you would do differently if rebuilding the stack today?

Thanks
