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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the software prerequisites for getting Pachyderm up and running on your local computer for testing purposes.

We gained basic knowledge about minikube and Docker Desktop and learned how to install them on our local machine. We also learned how to install the Pachyderm CLI and enable autocompletion on different operating systems.

We then installed Helm and the Pachyderm Helm repository on our system. We learned about Helm charts and how to obtain a free trial Pachyderm license.

We deployed a single-node, local Kubernetes cluster by using the most popular options available based on our desktop operating system. Finally, we deployed Pachyderm and learned how to access the Pachyderm Console.

We also learned how to do so on all three major platforms – macOS, Linux, and Windows.

In the next chapter, we will learn about how to install Pachyderm via the cloud and explain the software requirements needed to run a Pachyderm cluster...
