Machine learning workflows are complex beasts. They involve data extraction, validation, preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring—all of which need to run reliably, often on schedules, and with proper handling of failures and dependencies. This is where workflow orchestration tools become essential. Apache Airflow and Dagster have emerged as two leading solutions, … Read more
Building production-ready machine learning pipelines requires orchestrating complex workflows that transform raw data into model predictions. Apache Airflow and dbt (data build tool) have emerged as a powerful combination for this task—Airflow handles workflow orchestration and dependency management, while dbt brings software engineering best practices to data transformation. Together, they enable teams to build maintainable, … Read more
