Vision
Make GitLab a tool Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers love to use.
Mission
Explore and Collaborate with different teams to deliver features that improve the user experience for Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers, while increasing awareness within the company to this user groups
What Was Done
Jupyter Notebook Diffs
- Maintenance on Jupyter Notebook Diffs draining capacity and blocking new feature development
- Working on Graduating the project from Incubation Engineering
- Adding Toggleable diffs to MR page still blocked (due capacity), technically challenging
- New epic for user feedback on Jupyter Notebook Diffs gitlab-org&8015
MLFlow integration
- User research with a few different types of users
- Data Scientists use the Model Registry not only for PACKAGING, but to manage the different results during CREATE stage
- Biggest pain point for platform engineers is that MLFlow does not provide proper auth. MLFlow per repository/project would solve this problem out of the box.
- Issue collecting user feedback #53 (closed)
Usage
After 14.5 release (the one that included Jupyter Notebook Diffs) we see an acceleration on the growth of discussion on Jupyter diffs, which confirms our qualitative feedback from users: this feature is indeed enabling a new user group to change their development culture.
