Deep dives
Overview of the Flight Project
Flight is a Kubernetes-native workflow automation platform designed for large-scale machine learning and data applications. Its primary purpose is to simplify the transition for machine learning developers from conceptualizing their ideas to deploying them in production environments. By separating the concerns of DevOps and computational management from the core functionality of building machine learning applications, Flight streamlines the complex orchestration of data tasks, model training, and deployment. This focus on productionization helps developers avoid common pitfalls associated with managing large datasets and complex processing requirements.
