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.

Deploying Pachyderm on GKE

If you use Google Cloud, a managed Kubernetes service can be deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using automation and command-line tools with the help of kOps, kubespray, Terraform, and others. For additional configuration details, you can refer to Kubernetes' official documentation at https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/. Let's learn the simplest way to get the services required by Pachyderm up and running on Google Cloud's managed Kubernetes service, GKE.

Preparing a GKE cluster to run Pachyderm

Follow these steps to provision a GKE cluster using the Google Cloud SDK. You will need to have the Google Cloud SDK installed and its credentials configured. If you have a cluster, you can skip these instructions and jump to the Deploying the cluster section. Also, you can refer to the Google Cloud SDK official documentation at https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install:

  1. Execute the following command to deploy...
