March 2026 monthly performance highlights for vllm-project/production-stack. Delivered a new disaggregated prefill orchestrated routing capability that enables the router to manage flow between prefill and decode processes and to transfer KV cache securely, improving scalability, resource utilization, and deployment flexibility by separating prefill and decode phases. Updated compatibility and reliability posture through CI and runtime improvements, including lowering the Python minimum to 3.10 for Neuron SDK compatibility. Enhanced observability and error handling with distinct 503 codes for prefill/decode unavailability, and consolidated HTTP client usage to optimize streaming performance. Completed documentation and deployment artifacts (README, Kubernetes manifests) to accelerate onboarding and operations. This work lays the foundation for scalable, flexible routing in production workloads and faster deployment cycles.
