Machine Learning Lifecycle Framework

Requires Python: >=3.6

Ebonite is a machine learning lifecycle framework.
It allows you to persist your models and reproduce them (as services or in general).

Installation
============

::

    pip install ebonite

Quickstart
=============

Before you start with Ebonite you need to have your model.
This could be a model from your favorite library (list of supported libraries is below) or
just a custom Python function working with typical machine learning data.

.. code-block:: python

  import numpy as np
  def clf(data):
    return (np.sum(a, axis=-1) > 1).astype(np.int32)

Moreover, your custom function can wrap a model from some library.
This gives you flexibility to use not only pure ML models but rule-based ones (e.g., as a service stub at project start)
and hybrid (ML with pre/postprocessing) ones which are often applied to solve real world problems.

When a model is prepared you should create an Ebonite client.

.. code-block:: python

  from ebonite import Ebonite
  ebnt = Ebonite.local()

Then create a task and push your model object with some sample data.
Sample data is required for Ebonite to determine structure of inputs and outputs for your model.

.. code-block:: python

   task = ebnt.get_or_create_task('my_project', 'my_task')
   model = task.create_and_push_model(clf, test_x, 'my_clf')

You are awesome! Now your model is safely persisted in a repository.

Later on in other Python process you can load your model from this repository and do some wonderful stuff with it,
e.g., create a Docker image named `my_service` with an HTTP service wrapping your model.

.. code-block:: python

  from ebonite import Ebonite
  ebnt = Ebonite.local()
  task = ebnt.get_or_create_task('my_project', 'my_task')
  model = client.get_model('my_clf', task)
  client.build_image('my_service', model)

* Prebuilt flask server images for faster image build
* More and better methods in Ebonite client
* Pipelines - chain Models methods into one Model-like objects
* Refactioring of image and instance API
* Rework of pandas DatasetType: now with column types, even non-primitive (e.g. datetimes)
* Helper functions for stanalone docker build/run
* Minor bugfixes and features


0.5.2 (2020-05-16)
------------------

* Fixed dependency inspection to include wrapper dependencies
* Fixed s3 repo to fail with subdirectories
* More flexible way to add parameters for instance running (e.g. docker run arguments)

------------------

* Minor fixes and examples update

0.5.0 (2020-04-10)
------------------

* Built Docker images and running Docker containers along with their metadata are now persisted in metadata repository
* Added possibility to track running status of Docker container via Ebonite client
* Implemented support for pushing built images to remote Docker registry
* Improved testing of metadata repositories and Ebonite client and fixed discovered bugs in them
* Fixed bug with failed transactions not being rolled back
* Fixed bug with serialization of complex models some component of which could not be pickled
* Decomposed model IO from model wrappers
* bytes are now used for binary datasets instead of file-like objects
