+
+Backends
+========
+
+NVIDIA Dynamo supports multiple inference backends to provide flexibility and performance optimization for different use cases and model architectures. Backends are the underlying engines that execute AI model inference, each optimized for specific scenarios, hardware configurations, and performance requirements.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+Dynamo's multi-backend architecture allows you to:
+
+* **Choose the optimal engine** for your specific workload and hardware
+* **Switch between backends** without changing your application code
+* **Leverage specialized optimizations** from each backend
+* **Scale flexibly** across different deployment scenarios
+
+Supported Backends
+------------------
+
+Dynamo currently supports the following high-performance inference backends:
+
+.. toctree::
+   :maxdepth: 1
+
+   vLLM <../components/backends/vllm/README>
+   SGLang <../components/backends/sglang/README>

-# Examples of using Dynamo Platform
-
-## Serving examples locally
-
-Follow individual examples under components/backends/ to serve models locally.
-
-For example follow the [vLLM Backend Example](../../components/backends/vllm/README.md)
-
-For a basic GPU - unaware example see the [Hello World Example](../../examples/runtime/hello_world/README.md)
-
-## Deploying Examples to Kubernetes
-
-First you need to install the Dynamo Cloud Platform. Dynamo Cloud acts as an orchestration layer between the end user and Kubernetes, handling the complexity of deploying your graphs for you.
-Before you can deploy your graphs, you need to deploy the Dynamo Runtime and Dynamo Cloud images. This is a one-time action, only necessary the first time you deploy a DynamoGraph.
-
-### Instructions for Dynamo User
-If you are a **👤 Dynamo User** first follow the [Quickstart Guide](../guides/dynamo_deploy/quickstart.md) first.
-
-### Instructions for Dynamo Contributor
-If you are a **🧑‍💻 Dynamo Contributor** you may have to rebuild the dynamo platform images as the code evolves.
-For more details read the [Cloud Guide](../guides/dynamo_deploy/dynamo_cloud.md)
-Read more on deploying Dynamo Cloud read [deploy/cloud/helm/README.md](../../deploy/cloud/helm/README.md).
-
-
-### Deploying a particular example
-
-```bash
-# Set your dynamo root directory
-cd <root-dynamo-folder>
-export PROJECT_ROOT=$(pwd)
-export NAMESPACE=<your-namespace> # the namespace you used to deploy Dynamo cloud to.
-```
-
-Deploying an example consists of the simple `kubectl apply -f ... -n ${NAMESPACE}` command. For example:
-
-```bash
-kubectl apply -f components/backends/vllm/deploy/agg.yaml -n ${NAMESPACE}
-```
-
-You can use `kubectl get dynamoGraphDeployment -n ${NAMESPACE}` to view your deployment.
-You can use `kubectl delete dynamoGraphDeployment <your-dep-name> -n ${NAMESPACE}` to delete the deployment.
-
-We provide a Custom Resource yaml file for many examples under the `components/backends/<backend-name>/deploy/`folder.
-Consult the examples below for the CRs for your specific inference backend.
-
-[View SGLang k8s](../../components/backends/sglang/deploy/README.md)
-
-[View vLLM K8s](../../components/backends/vllm/deploy/README.md)
-
-[View TRTLLM k8s](../../components/backends/trtllm/deploy/README.md)
-
-**Note 1** Example Image
-
-The examples use a prebuilt image from the `nvcr.io` registry.
-You can build your own image and update the image location in your CR file prior to applying.
-You could build your own image using
-
-```bash
-./container/build.sh --framework <your-inference-framework>
-```
-
-For example for the `sglang` run
-```bash
-./container/build.sh --framework sglang
-```
-
-Then you would need to overwrite the image in the examples.
-
-```bash
-extraPodSpec:
-        mainContainer:
-          image: <image-in-your-$DYNAMO_IMAGE>
-```
-
-**Note 2**
-Setup port forward if needed when deploying to Kubernetes.
-
-List the services in your namespace:
-
-```bash
-kubectl get svc -n ${NAMESPACE}
-```
-Look for one that ends in `-frontend` and use it for port forward.
-
-```bash
-SERVICE_NAME=$(kubectl get svc -n ${NAMESPACE} -o name | grep frontend | sed 's|.*/||' | sed 's|-frontend||' | head -n1)
-kubectl port-forward svc/${SERVICE_NAME}-frontend 8080:8080 -n ${NAMESPACE}
-```
-
-Consult the [Port Forward Documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/port-forward-access-application-cluster/)
