Strengths & Weaknesses
↑ Strengths
↓ Weaknesses
API requires Python-specific patterns, TypeScript SDK is community-maintained
v0.1 to v0.2 migration required rewriting chain definitions
Primary focus on Kubeflow means limited support for other orchestration tools or cloud providers
Requires a fully configured Kubernetes cluster with Kubeflow installed, which can be challenging to set up correctly
