Sessions
Flyte is a Linux Foundation OSS orchestrator built for Data and Machine Learning workflows focused on scalability, reliability, and developer productivity. Flyte’s Python SDK, Flytekit, empowers developers by shipping their code from their local environments onto a cluster with one simple CLI command. In this talk, you will learn about the design and implementation details that powers Flytekit’s core features, such as “fast registration” and “type transformers”, and a plugin system that enables Dask, Ray, or distributed GPU workflows.
