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.

Installing Docker Desktop

Docker simplifies developing, delivering, and running applications by separating applications from the infrastructure and its dependencies. Pachyderm supports the Docker container runtime only; therefore, Docker tools must be installed before you deploy Pachyderm.

Docker runs as a native application using the macOS sandbox security model and installs all Docker tools on your macOS, including Docker Engine, the CLI, Docker Compose, Credential Helper, Notary, and Kubernetes.

If you do not have Docker Desktop already installed, you can follow the instructions provided in the next section to install it. Otherwise, you can skip to the Preparing your Kubernetes environment section. You can also refer to the official Docker documentation at https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/.

Installing Docker Desktop for macOS

Follow these steps to install Docker Desktop on macOS. The latest version of Docker is supported on the last three versions of macOS. If your...
