Learn more about Monitoring and Debugging:

- Monitor Ray apps and clusters with the `Ray Dashboard <https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-core/ray-dashboard.html>`__.
- Debug Ray apps with the `Ray Distributed Debugger <https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-observability/ray-distributed-debugger.html>`__.

Ray runs on any machine, cluster, cloud provider, and Kubernetes, and features a growing
`ecosystem of community integrations`_.

Install Ray with: ``pip install ray``. For nightly wheels, see the
`Installation page <https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-overview/installation.html>`__.

Why Ray?
--------

Today's ML workloads are increasingly compute-intensive. As convenient as they are, single-node development environments such as your laptop cannot scale to meet these demands.

Ray is a unified way to scale Python and AI applications from a laptop to a cluster.

With Ray, you can seamlessly scale the same code from a laptop to a cluster. Ray is designed to be general-purpose, meaning that it can performantly run any kind of workload. If your application is written in Python, you can scale it with Ray, no other infrastructure required.
