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 documentation for advanced use cases

   Official documentation lacks examples for complex pipelines and custom integrations

2. 02

   Performance overhead due to extensive logging

   Heavy logging can slow down pipeline execution, especially in resource-constrained environments

What it does well

• Extensible architecture for integrating various ML components and tools.

• Supports reproducibility through versioning of pipelines and artifacts.

• Flexible deployment options, including cloud and on-premises setups.
