Flyte

Flyte: Production-grade Data & ML Workflows Orchestration

Flyte is an infinitely scalable and flexible workflow orchestration platform that unifies data, machine learning (ML), and analytics stacks. It enables teams to build, deploy, run, and monitor data and ML pipelines with production-grade reliability and scalability.

---

Overview

• One platform to manage the lifecycle of data, ML, and analytics workflows with centralized governance and scalability.
• Focus on building and iterating workflows in Python SDK (and other languages) while seamlessly deploying to a robust backend.
• Emphasizes reproducibility, data lineage, and collaboration across teams.

How to Use Flyte

1. Define Tasks: Implement modular tasks (e.g., data extraction, transformation, model training) using Python SDK or other supported languages.
2. Assemble Workflows: Compose tasks into end-to-end workflows with clear data dependencies and parameters.
3. Run & Monitor: Execute workflows in environments ranging from local sandboxes to multi-cloud deployments; monitor executions and inspect data lineage.
4. Deploy & Scale: Promote workflows to cloud or on-prem environments; dynamically allocate resources to handle growing workloads.
