Built-in Cloud Workstations

Develop data-intensive projects in a consistent, productivity-boosting, secure environment with familiar VSCode and Jupyter notebooks.

A modern development environment for data, AI, and ML work

Connect your local VSCode to an always-on, personal cloud workstation. Use Jupyter notebooks for exploration. Develop and debug Metaflow runs in the cloud seamlessly.

No more discrepancies between the development environment and production, problems with inconsistent libraries, insecure data access, and slow wifis.

Secure and performant

In contrast to many other cloud workstations and notebooks, these workstations run on your cloud, within the bounds of your security policies, fully managed by Outerbounds.

The result is drastically higher performance for data-intensive work and more control over data governance and data security.

Develop code, data, and models in harmony

Develop production-ready workflows with state-of-the-art software development tools while exploring data, models, and artifacts in notebooks.

Observe results in a UI and scale out execution in the cloud with a single click.

Trusted by the best

MetaFlow has a really fantastic API.  Most DAG systems could learn from it.

Metaflow records the result of every step to S3. IMO the ability of metaflow to expose individual components of a complicated process is a big deal. Like, a really big deal.

By unifying our data and ML pipelines we can now automatically train models when an underlying warehouse table is updated which drastically improves efficiency and collaboration.

There's a lot of good ideas made practical in Metaflow to help ML projects and developers focus on what's important.

We are saving over 90% of the @awscloud cost in our #artificialintelligence model training phase. We've just finished the automation of our AI pipelines through the implementation of @MetaflowOSS , and the migration from http://H2O.ai

The team has shaved months off the time it takes to build a productionized machine learning model, and at the same time improved the overall collaboration of the data science organization with other departments!

Built with the core idea of allowing ML engineers and data scientists to use Python as native way to work, this friendly approach has tremendously boosted Carsales productivity in ML

In six weeks, a team that hadn’t used Metaflow before was able to build an ML-based model, A/B test its performance, which handily beat the old simple approach, and roll it out to production.

As an informal estimate, our #datascience team believes they were able to test twice as many models in Q1 2021 as they did in all of 2020, with simple experiments that would have taken a week now taking half a day.

One of the things I liked about Metaflow from Netflix is their clear documentation on "Dealing with Failures": it's important to raise awareness about "retry" logic, transient/permanent failures, idempotent operations, etc.

Metaflow has helped us avoid the anti-pattern of needing to push code to find out if something works

A space I'm excited about: 'open source on top of public cloud tech.' Instead of using open source libraries (which you have to run & scale, e.g. RabbitMQ), it uses infinitely-scalable off-the-shelf cloud services (e.g. SQS). Metaflow is a good example!

Maybe we'll be talking about this as the "Airflow for Data Science" in a few years. Not replacing Airflow, but in the sense that it's the default standard for orchestrating data science projects like Airflow does for data engineering pipelines.

Very impressive level of polish in the Metaflow docs/tutorials. Pretty incredible how many details have been abstracted away by Metaflow.

Metaflow has made my daily life as an ML engineer so much easier, especially as we scale our efforts. I've never worked with a framework that works out of the box as well as metaflow.

I've been extremely impressed by the Metaflow team. They have built something that's loved by everyone, so much so that they have Metaflow sad hours to encourage people say what can be improved. In my conversations with our users, I've often heard that Metaflow is one of the best software Netflix has ever built.

The MLOps piece of tech I'm most excited about is @MetaflowOSS. Just from reading the docs I'm amazed at how a large, enterprise company like Netflix seems to have really, really grasped the developer experience in the way I'd only expect 'smaller' projects to do.
