DeepStream is NVIDIA's platform for building highly optimized video processing pipelines accelerated by NVIDIA's hardware, taking full advantage of TensorRT for accelerated inference and CUDA for parallel processing. It targets many of the same business problems as Inference, including monitoring security cameras, smart cities, and industrial IoT.
DeepStream has a reputation for being difficult to use with a steep learning curve. It requires familiarity with NVIDIA tooling and while it is highly configurable, it's also highly complex. It's focused on video processing, without deep integrations with other tooling. DeepStream is not open source; ensure that the license issuitable for your project.
Choose DeepStream if: you're an expert willing to invest a lot of time and effort into optimizing a single project and high throughput is your primary objective.
Inference turns any computer or edge device into a command center for your computer vision projects.
