The Origin and Purpose of Metaphlow at Netflix

Metaphlow was created at Netflix to bridge the gap between engineering infrastructure and machine learning needs. Netflix expanded its ML use cases beyond recommendations, requiring a system to access infrastructure, orchestrate systems, and scale models effectively. Metaflow, developed around 2018, facilitated this by enabling data scientists to access the necessary infrastructure easily. It gained popularity at Netflix, leading to its open-source release in 2019.
