Thanks for pinging on this.

re: Kubeflow - imho it is quite coupled to Kubernetes. We don’t intend to be tied to a specific compute substrate even though the first launch is with AWS. We do follow a plugin architecture - so I’m hoping Kube happens sometime.

re: Flyte - I’m less informed on this but happy to educate myself and get back.

Good overview of Flyte found here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdUJGSP1h9U It does appear to be quite similar, though it has native k8s integration and a central web-based UI for monitoring jobs. Flyte asks the user to turn on caching. I like that Metaflow does that for you by default.

That's true of Kubeflow. I'm not sure that project will be as keen on being as "compute substrate" agnostic as Metaflow too, given its connection with Google.

If you feel inclined jump in the Flyte Slack and share your thoughts :). At my company we're on Kubeflow/Argo now, but things are developing quite a lot in this space so keen to not be myopic.

Thanks for sharing the context. Hopefully we can have a (fast) follow up with Kube integration depending on demand.
