Release

The release history centralizes packages improvements across time. Coming soon:

• enhanced documentation, especially with detailed tutorials for PipelineML class and advanced versioning parametrisation
• better integration to Mlflow Projects
• better integration to Mlflow Model Registry
• better CLI experience and bug fixes
• ability to retrieve parameters / re-run a former run for reproducibility / collaboration

What is kedro-mlflow?

kedro-mlflow is a kedro-plugin for lightweight and portable integration of mlflow capabilities inside kedro projects. It enforces Kedro principles to make mlflow usage as production ready as possible. Its core functionalities are :

• versioning: you can effortlessly register your parameters or your datasets with minimal configuration in a kedro run. Later, you will be able to browse your runs in the mlflow UI, and retrieve the runs you want. This is directly linked to Mlflow Tracking
• model packaging: kedro-mlflow offers a convenient API to register a pipeline as a model in the mlflow sense. Consequently, you can API-fy or serve your kedro pipeline with one line of code, or share a model with without worrying of the preprocessing to be made for further use. This is directly linked to Mlflow Models

How do I install kedro-mlflow?

Important: kedro-mlflow is only compatible with kedro>0.16.0. If you have a project created with an older version of Kedro, see this migration guide.

kedro-mlflow is available on PyPI, so you can install it with pip:

pip install kedro-mlflow

If you want to use the develop version of the package which is the most up to date, you can install the package from github:

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/quantumblacklabs/kedro.git@develop

I strongly recommend to use conda (a package manager) to create an environment and to read kedro installation guide.

Getting started:

The documentation contains:

• A "hello world" example which demonstrates how you to setup your project, version parameters and datasets, and browse your runs in the UI.
• A more detailed tutorial to show more advanced features (mlflow configuration through the plugin, package and serve a kedro Pipeline...)

Some frequently asked questions on more advanced features:

• You want to log additional metrics to the run? -> See mlflow.log_metric and add it to your functions !
• You want to log nice dataviz of your pipeline that you register with MatplotlibWriter? -> Try MlflowDataSet to log any local files (.png, .pkl, .csv...) automagically!
• You want to create easily an API to share your awesome model to anyone? -> See if pipeline_ml can fit your needs
• You want to do something that is not straigthforward with current implementation? Open an issue, and let's see what happens!

Can I contribute?

I'd be happy to receive help to maintain and improve the package. Please check the contributing guidelines.
