Deep dives
The Development of Metaflow
Metaflow was developed at Netflix to bridge the gap between complex machine learning infrastructure and data science workflows. The initiative aimed to empower data scientists by allowing them to easily access necessary resources, efficiently orchestrate workflows, and version their work. Drawing from previous experiences, the creators combined successful aspects from other frameworks while addressing their shortcomings. This ultimately resulted in a robust open-source framework that streamlined data science processes within a large organizational setting.
