Netflix open-sources its Python Framework ‘Metaflow’ for building and managing data science projects

Netflix open-sources its human-friendly Python Framework ‘Metaflow’ to build and manage real-life data science projects with ease. Metaflow was originally developed at Netflix for addressing the needs of its data scientists who work on demanding real-life data science projects.

Metaflow provides a unified API to the infrastructure stack for the execution of data science projects (prototype to production).
