How Netflix Supports Its Machine-Learning Systems

Netflix engineers discuss Metaflow, their machine learning infrastructure platform that supports diverse use cases across the company. Metaflow allows data scientists to easily run Python code locally or distributed across clusters, handling data management and orchestration. It aims to reduce cognitive load for users by abstracting away complexity. Key features include flexible resource allocation, scheduling, and fast data access. The platform has evolved to support large language models and other compute-intensive workloads at Netflix scale.
