Why Code Templates Matter 💡

Think of a code template as a blueprint for success. It provides a standardized structure and pre-configured tools, eliminating the need for repetitive setup tasks and allowing you to focus on the core problem you’re trying to solve. This streamlined approach not only saves valuable time and effort but also promotes consistency and adherence to best practices across multiple projects.


The Cookiecutter MLOps Package: Built for Versatility ⚙️

The Cookiecutter MLOps Package is designed with a platform-agnostic philosophy, recognizing that the fundamental principles of packaging and deployment are applicable across various MLOps environments. Whether you’re working with KubernetesVertex AIDatabricksAzure ML, or AWS SageMaker, the template provides a common foundation, empowering you to integrate your code seamlessly into your preferred platform.


A Powerful Toolkit at Your Fingertips 🧰

The Cookiecutter MLOps Package equips you with an arsenal of tools and features to enhance your MLOps development:

  1. Streamlined Project Structure: Say goodbye to chaotic project setups. The template provides a well-defined directory structure for your code, tests, documentation, and more.
  2. Dependency Management with Poetry: Effortlessly manage your Python dependencies and build your package with Poetry, ensuring a consistent and reproducible environment.
  3. Automated Testing and Quality Checks: Enjoy a robust testing framework with PytestRuffMypyBandit, and Coverage, guaranteeing code quality, style, security, and type safety.
  4. Pre-commit Hooks: Automatically format and lint your code with pre-commit hooks, enforcing coding standards and preventing regressions.
  5. MLflow Integration: Seamlessly execute your jobs using MLflow projects, enabling easy experimentation, tracking, and reproducibility.
  6. Dockerized Deployment: Build and run your package within a Docker container, ensuring consistency and portability across different environments.
  7. PyInvoke for Task Automation: Automate repetitive development tasks with PyInvoke, streamlining your workflow and saving time.
  8. Comprehensive Documentation: Generate API documentation with pdoc and leverage Markdown files for clear usage instructions.
  9. GitHub Actions for CI/CD: Set up continuous integration and deployment workflows with GitHub Actions, automating testing, checks, and publishing.
