MLflow: An open platform to simplify the machine learning lifecycle

Successfully building and deploying a machine learning model is difficult to do once. Enabling other data scientists to reproduce your pipeline, compare the results of different versions, track what's running where, and redeploy and rollback updated models is much harder. Mani Parkhe and Andrew Chen offer an overview of MLflowa new open source project from Databricks that simplifies this process.

Successfully building and deploying a machine learning model is difficult to do once. Enabling other data scientists (or even yourself, one month later) to reproduce your pipeline, compare the results of different versions, track what’s running where, and redeploy and rollback updated models is much harder. Mani Parkhe and Andrew Chen offer an overview of MLflow—a new open source project from Databricks that simplifies this process. MLflow provides APIs for tracking experiment runs between multiple users within a reproducible environment and for managing the deployment of models to production. Moreover, MLflow is designed to be an open, modular platform, in the sense that you can use it with any existing ML library and incorporate it incrementally into an existing ML development process.
