As a fun historical sidebar and an illustration that there are no new names in tech these days, Metaflow was also the name of the company that first introduced out-of-order speculative execution of CISC architectures using micro-ops. [1]

I don't know if it's a coincidence but we just released a major new feature in Metaflow a few days ago - composing flows with custom decorators: https://docs.metaflow.org/metaflow/composing-flows/introduct...

A big deal is that they get packaged automatically for remote execution. And you can attach them on the command line without touching code, which makes it easy to build pipelines with pluggable functionality - think e.g. switching an LLM provider on the fly.

If you haven't looked into Metaflow recently, configuration management is another big feature that was contributed by the team at Netflix: https://netflixtechblog.com/introducing-configurable-metaflo...

Many folks love the new native support for uv too: https://docs.metaflow.org/scaling/dependencies/uv

I'm happy to answer any questions here

I went to the GitHub page. The descriptions of the service seem redundant to what cloud providers offer today. I looked at the documentation and it lacks concrete examples for implementation flows.

Seems like something new to learn, an added layer on top of existing workflows, with no obvious benefit.
