Metaflow
Metaflow is an open-source framework designed to facilitate the development and management of real-world machine learning, AI, and data science projects. It allows users to leverage any Python library, and handles library dependencies both locally and in the cloud.
The framework provides robust workflow orchestration in Python, automatic versioning of variables, and seamless integration with cloud computing resources. Metaflow supports easy deployment of workflows to production and offers scalability for computationally intensive tasks, such as those using GPUs and extensive memory.
MLflow
MLflow is a unified, open-source MLOps platform designed to streamline the entire machine learning and generative AI lifecycle. It provides a comprehensive solution for managing workflows, from initial development stages to final production deployment.
MLflow offers a range of tools for experiment tracking, model management, and deployment, supporting both traditional machine learning and generative AI applications. Its open-source nature allows integration with a wide variety of ML libraries and platforms, making it highly adaptable to different environments and projects.
