hamilton VS versatile-data-kit

In this post, we’ll show how your team can turn any utility function(s) into reusable IPython Jupyter magics for a better notebook experience. As an example, we’ll use Hamilton, my open source library, to motivate the creation of a magic that facilitates better development ergonomics for using it. You needn’t know what Hamilton is to understand this post.

We built an app with it -- https://blog.dagworks.io/p/building-a-lightweight-experiment. You can see the code here https://github.com/DAGWorks-Inc/hamilton/blob/main/hamilton/....

Usually we've been prototyping with streamlit, but found that at times to be clunky. FastUI still has rough edges, but we made it work for our lightweight app.

This library is old news? Is there anything new that they've added that's noteworthy to take it for another spin?

[disclaimer I'm a maintainer of Hamilton] Otherwise FYI Prophet gels well with https://github.com/DAGWorks-Inc/hamilton for setting up your features and dataset for fitting & prediction[/disclaimer].

I had been hearing these pains from Langchain users for quite a while. Suffice to say I think:

1. too many layers of OO abstractions are a liability in production contexts. I'm biased, but a more functional approach is a better way to model what's going on. It's easier to test, wrap a function with concerns, and therefore reason about.

2. as fast as the field is moving, the layers of abstractions actually hurt your ability to customize without really diving into the details of the framework, or requiring you to step outside it -- in which case, why use it?

Otherwise I definitely love the small amount of code you need to write to get an LLM application up with Langchain. However you read code more often than you write it, in which case this brevity is a trade-off. Would you prefer to reduce your time debugging a production outage? or building the application? There's no right answer, other than "it depends".

To that end - we've come up with a post showing how one might use Hamilton (https://github.com/dagWorks-Inc/hamilton) to easily create a workflow to ingest data into a vector database that I think has a great production story. https://open.substack.com/pub/dagworks/p/building-a-maintain...

Note: Hamilton can cover your MLOps as well as LLMOps needs; you'll invariably be connecting LLM applications with traditional data/ML pipelines because LLMs don't solve everything -- but that's a post for another day.

This is me. I drive an open source library Hamilton that people doing time-series/ML work love to use. I'm building a paid product around it at DAGWorks, and I'm after feedback on our current version. Can I entice anyone to:

From a nuts and bolts perspective, I've been thinking of building some reactivity on top of https://github.com/dagworks-inc/hamilton (author here) that could get at this. (If you have a use case that could be documented, I'd appreciate it.)

Most people don't track lineage because it's difficult (though if you use something like https://github.com/DAGWorks-Inc/hamilton to write your pipeline - author here - it can come almost for free).

Otherwise, I'm biased here, but check out https://github.com/dagworks-inc/hamilton - it could be your universal layer that expresses how things should flow, that is orchestration system agnostic, which would make it easy to migrate between systems easily.

Here's the project: https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit

I don't really know if this would work for you because the UI is not functional yet, but a very simple REST API ingestion example here, there's one for csv too https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit/wiki/Ingesting-data-from-REST-API-into-Database I can't imagine a simpler way unless it's really drag and drop.

I work at VMware and we use one tool for the whole ELT, it was made internally as there was no good alternative at the time and now we opensourced it, here it is: https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit

With my team we created csv ingestion plugin described here, maybe you want to try it out: https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit/wiki/Ingesting-local-CSV-file-into-Database

We use Versatile Data Kit for batch data job orchestration (https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit)

"suggestions on how to reduce the time spent on initially generating and adjusting the code" is using some tools that automate ELT. Here's one open-source tool I'm working on with my team: https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit

here's the repo: https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit

If you wish to contribute, projects usually have good first issues: https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit/labels/good%20first%20issue If you wish to learn, check out examples: https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit/tree/main/examples

Have you heard about versatile data kit (https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit)? I think it meets your needs perfectly:

Versatile Data Kit is a framework to bBuild, run and manage your data pipelines with Python or SQL on any cloud https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit here's a list of good first issues: https://github.com/vmware/versatile-data-kit/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22 Join our slack channel to connect with our team: https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C033PSLKCPR
