What is Kedro?

Kedro is an open-source Python framework for creating reproducible, maintainable and modular data science code. It borrows concepts from software engineering and applies them to machine-learning code; applied concepts include modularity, separation of concerns and versioning.

How do I install Kedro?

To install Kedro from the Python Package Index (PyPI) simply run:

pip install kedro

It is also possible to install Kedro using conda:

conda install -c conda-forge kedro

Our Get Started guide contains full installation instructions, and includes how to set up Python virtual environments.

What are the main features of Kedro?

Kedro-Viz Pipeline Visualisation A pipeline visualisation generated using Kedro-Viz

Feature What is this?
Project Template A standard, modifiable and easy-to-use project template based on Cookiecutter Data Science.
Data Catalog A series of lightweight data connectors used to save and load data across many different file formats and file systems, including local and network file systems, cloud object stores, and HDFS. The Data Catalog also includes data and model versioning for file-based systems.
Pipeline Abstraction Automatic resolution of dependencies between pure Python functions and data pipeline visualisation using Kedro-Viz.
Coding Standards Test-driven development using pytest, produce well-documented code using Sphinx, create linted code with support for flake8, isort and black and make use of the standard Python logging library.
Flexible Deployment Deployment strategies that include single or distributed-machine deployment as well as additional support for deploying on Argo, Prefect, Kubeflow, AWS Batch and Databricks.

How do I use Kedro?

The Kedro documentation includes three examples to help get you started:

Why does Kedro exist?

Kedro is built upon our collective best-practice (and mistakes) trying to deliver real-world ML applications that have vast amounts of raw unvetted data. We developed Kedro to achieve the following:

  • To address the main shortcomings of Jupyter notebooks, one-off scripts, and glue-code because there is a focus on creating maintainable data science code
  • To enhance team collaboration when different team members have varied exposure to software engineering concepts
  • To increase efficiency, because applied concepts like modularity and separation of concerns inspire the creation of reusable analytics code

The humans behind Kedro

Kedro is maintained by a product team from QuantumBlack and a number of contributors from across the world.
