hello @mpnagle,
Spaces are designed for demos and sharable ML apps. You might be interested in our Inference Endpoints solution which provides exactly what you’re looking for, a dedicated, fully managed inference server. You might need to convert your Jupiter notebook to a custom handler python code and with a few clicks you can deploy and have an API endpoint
Luckily @philschmid wrote a really comprehensive tutorial about deploying ControlNet as an inference endpoint, so you can just copy adapt his handler.py
You can also see multiple models templates on our hub.
