About ZenML
ZenML lets you define pipelines and agents in Python and run them on the orchestrator and cloud you already use. You can move between setups, from a laptop to Kubernetes, without rewriting the code.
It is released under Apache 2.0 and can be self-hosted, which keeps data on your own infrastructure. The same company makes Kitaru, which replays agents against recorded production sessions. ZenML suits ML and platform teams that want portable pipelines.
Strengths
- Pipelines are plain Python
- Portable across orchestrators and clouds
- Apache 2.0 licence, and you can self-host it
