ML Pipeline Orchestration
Advanced frameworks for orchestrating and managing machine learning workflows at scale.
Apache Airflow
Airflow implements a DAG-based workflow engine with sophisticated scheduling and dependency management. It provides dynamic task generation through templated workflows and custom XCom backends for artifact passing. The system includes advanced features like smart sensors, dynamic task mapping, and time-based backfilling. Implements robust failure handling with configurable retry policies and conditional execution paths. Features include custom operators for ML workflows, integrated secrets management, and distributed execution through Celery or Kubernetes executors.
Kubeflow
Kubeflow implements end-to-end ML orchestration on Kubernetes with custom resource definitions (CRDs) for ML primitives. It provides sophisticated pipeline composition through the Argo workflow engine with support for parallel execution and artifact passing. The framework includes automated hyperparameter tuning through Katib with various optimization algorithms. Features include distributed training operators for TensorFlow, PyTorch, and MXNet. Implements versioned pipeline components with reproducible containerized execution environments.
MLflow
MLflow provides comprehensive experiment tracking with parameter logging, metric recording, and artifact management. It implements sophisticated model registry features including versioning, stage transitions, and deployment management. The system includes automated lineage tracking with dataset versioning and model dependencies. Features include distributed hyperparameter search with various optimization strategies. Implements cross-framework model serving with REST API generation and model signature validation.
DVC (Data Version Control)
DVC implements Git-like versioning for large files and ML artifacts with sophisticated caching and storage backend support. It provides pipeline definition through DAGs with automatic dependency tracking and incremental recomputation. The system includes advanced features like pipeline parameterization and metric-based experiment comparison. Features include distributed cache management and cloud storage optimization. Implements efficient data transfer protocols with content-addressable storage and parallel download capabilities.
