Dvc
DVC is a data versioning tool and pipeline orchestrator designed to track large datasets and machine learning models. It functions as a system for managing large data artifacts by storing lightweight metadata in version control while keeping the actual binaries in a separate cache.
The project serves as an experiment tracker and remote storage synchronizer, enabling the execution and comparison of machine learning iterations based on hyperparameters and performance metrics. It provides a bridge for pushing and pulling these large data artifacts between local environments and cloud or on-premises storage.
The tool covers data pipeline automation through the definition and execution of computational graphs, ensuring only components impacted by changes are rerun. It further supports model reproducibility by reconstructing specific experiment states and syncing the corresponding data and code versions.
