Thanks for open sourcing this.

Can you say a little about which niche this would occupy, and what the motivation is? Is it intended to compete with Tensorflow and Pytorch or to be an industrial strength version of SKlearn.

I looked through the tutorial on my mobile and the answer was not immediately clear.

Is the benefit that it auto scales on AWS without having to think through the infrastructure?

Hi omarhaneef, We don't intend to compete with Tensorflow, PyTorch, SKLearn. What we offer is a way to iterate and productionize your models written using any of the aforementioned libraries (and more). https://docs.metaflow.org/introduction/what-is-metaflow contains further elaboration of our philosophy. Auto-scaling infrastructure is one piece of the puzzle, and Metaflow goes beyond that offering a comprehensive solution for model management.
