Today we kick off our KubeCon ‘19 series joined by Haytham AbuelFutuh and Ketan Umare, a pair of software engineers at Lyft. We caught up with Haytham and Ketan at KubeCo, where they were presenting their newly open-sourced, cloud-native ML and data processing platform, Flyte. We discuss what prompted Ketan to undertake this project and his experience building Flyte, the core value proposition, what type systems mean for the user experience, how it relates to Kubeflow and how Flyte is used across Lyft.
