Kedro-Viz

What it is

Kedro-Viz is a visualization tool that helps users understand, debug, and optimize their Kedro pipelines. It provides an interactive interface to visualize the flow of data through nodes in your pipeline and track experiments effectively.

Kedro-Viz stands out as an integral part of the Kedro ecosystem, offering a unique way to visualize and optimize pipelines directly within the Kedro project structure.

When it fits — and when it doesn’t

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited to Kedro pipelines only

   Kedro-Viz is tightly integrated with the Kedro framework and does not support other pipeline or workflow tools.

2. 02

   Performance issues with very large pipelines

   Visualization of extremely complex pipelines can become sluggish, impacting usability for real-time debugging and optimization.

3. 03

   Documentation lacks depth on advanced use cases

   The official documentation provides basic setup instructions but falls short in explaining how to leverage Kedro-Viz for more sophisticated scenarios or customizations.

4. 04

   Dependence on Python ecosystem

   Being tightly coupled with the Python language and its ecosystem limits adoption by teams that use other languages for their data science workflows.

What it does well

• Interactive visualization of Kedro pipelines

• Experiment tracking and comparison

• Support for large datasets and complex pipelines

• Integration with Kedro project structure
