MLflow
An open source platform for the machine learning lifecycle.
Overview
MLflow is an open-source platform for managing the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle. It provides tools for tracking experiments, packaging code into reproducible runs, and sharing and deploying models. MLflow is library-agnostic and can be used with any machine learning library, and in any cloud. It is designed to work with any ML library, language, and to scale from a single user to large organizations.
✨ Key Features
- MLflow Tracking: Record and query experiments: code, data, config, and results.
- MLflow Projects: Package ML code in a reusable, reproducible form to share with other data scientists or transfer to production.
- MLflow Models: Manage and deploy models from a variety of ML libraries to a variety of model serving and inference platforms.
- MLflow Model Registry: A centralized model store, set of APIs, and UI, to collaboratively manage the full lifecycle of an MLflow Model.
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Open-source and vendor-neutral
- Comprehensive lifecycle management beyond just experiment tracking
- Strong integration with the Spark ecosystem and Databricks
Unique Value: Provides a flexible, open-source standard for managing the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle, promoting reproducibility and collaboration.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
