Visit MetaflowAbout Metaflow
Metaflow, originally developed at Netflix, is a Python framework for building production data science and ML workflows. It manages compute resources, data versioning, and workflow scheduling while letting data scientists write normal Python code. Metaflow deploys to AWS (Step Functions, Batch) and Kubernetes.
Key Features
- Python-native workflows
- Automatic versioning
- Compute scheduling
- AWS/K8s integration
- Data artifact management
- Resume from failures
- Parallel execution
Pros
- Pythonic API
- Production-tested at Netflix
- Good data management
- Simple to start
Cons
- AWS-centric
- Smaller community than Airflow
- Limited UI
