MLflow vs scikit-learn: What are the differences?

Developers describe MLflow as "An open source machine learning platform". MLflow is an open source platform for managing the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle. On the other hand, scikit-learn is detailed as "Easy-to-use and general-purpose machine learning in Python". scikit-learn is a Python module for machine learning built on top of SciPy and distributed under the 3-Clause BSD license.

MLflow and scikit-learn can be categorized as "Machine Learning" tools.

MLflow and scikit-learn are both open source tools. It seems that scikit-learn with 36K GitHub stars and 17.6K forks on GitHub has more adoption than MLflow with 23 GitHub stars and 13 GitHub forks.

Decisions about MLflow and scikit-learn

A large part of our product is training and using a machine learning model. As such, we chose one of the best coding languages, Python, for machine learning. This coding language has many packages which help build and integrate ML models. For the main portion of the machine learning, we chose PyTorch as it is one of the highest quality ML packages for Python. PyTorch allows for extreme creativity with your models while not being too complex. Also, we chose to include scikit-learn as it contains many useful functions and models which can be quickly deployed. Scikit-learn is perfect for testing models, but it does not have as much flexibility as PyTorch. We also include NumPy and Pandas as these are wonderful Python packages for data manipulation. Also for testing models and depicting data, we have chosen to use Matplotlib and seaborn, a package which creates very good looking plots. Matplotlib is the standard for displaying data in Python and ML. Whereas, seaborn is a package built on top of Matplotlib which creates very visually pleasing plots.

    What are some alternatives to MLflow and scikit-learn?
    Kubeflow
    The Kubeflow project is dedicated to making Machine Learning on Kubernetes easy, portable and scalable by providing a straightforward way for spinning up best of breed OSS solutions.
    Airflow
    Use Airflow to author workflows as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of tasks. The Airflow scheduler executes your tasks on an array of workers while following the specified dependencies. Rich command lines utilities makes performing complex surgeries on DAGs a snap. The rich user interface makes it easy to visualize pipelines running in production, monitor progress and troubleshoot issues when needed.
    TensorFlow
    TensorFlow is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between them. The flexible architecture allows you to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API.
    DVC
    It is an open-source Version Control System for data science and machine learning projects. It is designed to handle large files, data sets, machine learning models, and metrics as well as code.
    Seldon
    Seldon is an Open Predictive Platform that currently allows recommendations to be generated based on structured historical data. It has a variety of algorithms to produce these recommendations and can report a variety of statistics.
