The Single Post You Need to Learn the Basics of Flyte

Flyte is an open-source, Kubernetes-native workflow orchestrator implemented in Go. It enables highly concurrent, scalable and reproducible workflows for data processing, machine learning and analytics. Flyte is built on simple concepts and provides powerful and flexible tools and methods to orchestrate ML and data processing workflows. If you have no idea what Flyte does, you can compare it with Airflow but with its own flavour. I personally find the simplicity of Flyte one of its key strengths. If you’re already familiar with Airflow, you should find it very simple to learn and master, and even without that, the learning curve is moderate. In this post, without any unnecessary side information, I show you how to set up Flyte locally and will touch on different concepts so you can continue to learn the rest on your own easily. We will create two dummy CSV files and process them through multiple tasks in a workflow. While the workflow is very simple, it gives the opportunity to cover all the necessary fundamental concepts. Install flytectl mac: brew install flyteorg/homebrew-tap/flytectl other: curl -sL https://ctl.flyte.org/install | bash Verify: flytectl version Start a local deployment flytectl demo start If everything goes as planned at the end of the logs in your terminal you should see an output like this:
