Reproducible Data Science with Pachyderm

By: Svetlana Karslioglu

Overview of this book

Pachyderm is an open source project that enables data scientists to run reproducible data pipelines and scale them to an enterprise level. This book will teach you how to implement Pachyderm to create collaborative data science workflows and reproduce your ML experiments at scale. You’ll begin your journey by exploring the importance of data reproducibility and comparing different data science platforms. Next, you’ll explore how Pachyderm fits into the picture and its significance, followed by learning how to install Pachyderm locally on your computer or a cloud platform of your choice. You’ll then discover the architectural components and Pachyderm's main pipeline principles and concepts. The book demonstrates how to use Pachyderm components to create your first data pipeline and advances to cover common operations involving data, such as uploading data to and from Pachyderm to create more complex pipelines. Based on what you've learned, you'll develop an end-to-end ML workflow, before trying out the hyperparameter tuning technique and the different supported Pachyderm language clients. Finally, you’ll learn how to use a SaaS version of Pachyderm with Pachyderm Notebooks. By the end of this book, you will learn all aspects of running your data pipelines in Pachyderm and manage them on a day-to-day basis.

Chapter 4: Installing Pachyderm Locally

In the previous chapters, we learned about Pachyderm's architecture, the internals of the Pachyderm solution, and version control primitives such as repositories branches, and commits. We reviewed why reproducibility is essential and why it should be a part of a successful data science process. We also learned how to do this on all three major platforms – macOS, Linux, and Windows.

There are many ways and a variety of platforms that enable you to run your end-to-end Machine Learning (ML) workflows using Pachyderm. We will start with the most common and easy to configure local deployment method on your computer; then, in the following chapters, we will review the deployment process on cloud platforms.

This chapter will walk you through the process of installing Pachyderm locally so that you can get started quickly and test Pachyderm. This chapter will prepare you to run your first pipeline. We will provide an overview of the...
