Flyte
Flyte is a distributed machine learning pipeline manager and MLOps workflow engine. It functions as a Kubernetes-native orchestrator used to coordinate data, models, and compute resources for executing machine learning pipelines and autonomous agents at scale.
The platform provides specialized infrastructure for the full machine learning lifecycle, including a dedicated model serving platform to deploy trained models as scalable production-ready inference services. It also enables the coordination and state management of autonomous AI agents.
The system manages scalable pipeline execution through directed acyclic graphs and strongly-typed interface definitions. It ensures environment consistency via container-based task isolation and utilizes dynamic resource allocation for individual tasks.
