Netflix builds its own LLM serving stack to slash vendor costs and latency
Netflix replaced third‑party LLM APIs with an internal serving platform that runs model deployment, versioning and inference inside its JVM‑based production stack. By using vLLM on top of NVIDIA Triton, they removed API latency, cut vendor spend and gained fine‑grained rollout control across regions. The approach shows large streaming firms can own the full LLM stack for tighter cost and performance guarantees.
