# LLM Deployment Examples using SGLang

This directory contains examples and reference implementations for deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) in various configurations using SGLang. SGLang internally uses ZMQ to communicate between the ingress and the engine processes. For Dynamo, we leverage the runtime to communicate directly with the engine processes and handle ingress and pre/post processing on our end.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> In order to run these examples, you will need to install sglang using `uv pip install "sglang[all]==0.4.6.post2"`. Additionally, SGLang currently does not have pre-built wheels for ARM. If you are on an ARM machine - you will need to install SGLang from source.

## Deployment Architectures

See [deployment architectures](../llm/README.md#deployment-architectures) to learn about the general idea of the architecture. SGLang currently support only aggregated serving but routing and disaggregation support are coming very soon!

## Getting Started

1. Choose a deployment architecture based on your requirements
2. Configure the components as needed
3. Deploy using the provided scripts

### Prerequisites

Start required services (etcd and NATS) using [Docker Compose](../../deploy/docker-compose.yml)

```bash
docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d
```

### Build docker

```bash
# On an x86 machine - sglang does not support ARM yet
./container/build.sh
```

### Run container

```bash
./container/run.sh -it
```

### Example architectures

#### Aggregated

```bash
cd /workspace/examples/sglang
dynamo serve graphs.agg:Frontend -f ./configs/agg.yaml
```
