Machine learning development creates multiple new challenges that are not present in a traditional software development lifecycle. These include keeping track of the myriad inputs to an ML application (e.g., data versions, code and tuning parameters), reproducing results, and production deployment. In this paper, we summarize these challenges from our experience with Databricks customers, and describe MLflow, an open source platform we recently launched to streamline the machine learning lifecycle. MLflow covers three key challenges: experimentation, reproducibility, and model deployment, using generic APIs that work with any ML library, algorithm and programming language. The project has a rapidly growing open source community, with over 50 contributors since its launch in June 2018.
