Kedro

Open Source

About Kedro

Kedro is a toolbox for production-ready data pipelines. Kedro is an open-source Python framework hosted by the Linux Foundation (LF AI & Data). A Kedro project provides scaffolding for complex data and machine-learning pipelines. Kedro standardises how data engineering and data science code is created.

Products

  • Data Catalog: A series of lightweight data connectors used to save and load data across many file formats and file systems.
  • Project Template: Standardises how configuration, source code, tests, documentation, and notebooks are organised.
  • Kedro VS Code extension: Integrates Kedro projects with Visual Studio Code, providing code navigation and autocompletion.

Who it is for

  • Data Scientists
  • Machine-Learning Engineers/Data Engineers
  • Product Leads

How to evaluate ML Platforms & MLOps

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Kedro. The category covers two kinds of product, so both frameworks are here. Most buyers need one of them.

AI/ML Platforms
25%
MLOps, Serving & Lifecycle
Reproducible training pipelines and CI/CD for models, a first-class model registry with versioning and stage promotion, real-time and batch/streaming serving, A/B and canary rollout, automated retraining, and rollback — the path from registered model to monitored endpoint and back
20%
Model Development & Experimentation
Notebook and IDE experience, experiment tracking and run comparison, feature engineering and a feature store, AutoML for breadth, distributed training, and support for the frameworks your teams use (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, XGBoost, Spark ML)
20%
AI Governance & Responsible AI
End-to-end lineage from data to deployed model, approval workflows and access control, bias and fairness testing, explainability, model and prompt audit trails, and the evidence trail needed for internal risk review and emerging AI regulation such as the EU AI Act
15%
GenAI & LLM Operations
Managed serving and fine-tuning of open and proprietary LLMs, a vector/retrieval layer for RAG, prompt management, evaluation harnesses for non-deterministic output, agent orchestration hooks, and token and inference cost controls — weighted to how central GenAI is to you
10%
Data, Compute & Cost Control
Proximity to where your data already lives and the egress it avoids, GPU availability and scheduling, spot/preemptible support, autoscaling, idle-resource reclamation, and chargeback/showback visibility so AI spend is attributable and governable rather than a surprise
10%
Platform Openness & Ecosystem
Portability and exit cost (open formats, MLflow compatibility, container-based serving), multi-cloud and on-prem reach, breadth of integrations, collaboration across data science and engineering, and standards conformance so the platform extends rather than confines your stack
MLOps Platforms
25%
Production Monitoring & Reliability
Data and concept drift detection, prediction/quality monitoring, ground-truth join for delayed labels, alerting and automated retraining triggers, plus LLM-specific signals (hallucination, toxicity, response-quality eval) on live traffic
20%
Model Registry & Governance
Versioned registry with stage transitions and approval gates, end-to-end lineage (data → run → model → endpoint), reproducibility, model cards, audit logging, and alignment to your AI risk/inventory policy
20%
Deployment & Serving
One-step deploy to real-time and batch endpoints, autoscaling and GPU-aware serving, canary / shadow / A-B rollout, rollback, multi-model and multi-framework support, and latency/throughput under your traffic
15%
CI/CD & Pipeline Automation
Git-native pipelines, reproducible training/eval/deploy stages, integration with your existing CI (Actions, GitLab, Azure DevOps), environment/dependency management, and IaC-friendly APIs
10%
Experiment Tracking & Reproducibility
Run logging at scale, metric/artifact comparison, hyperparameter sweeps, dataset and code versioning, collaboration, and a durable system-of-record across teams and frameworks
10%
LLMOps Coverage
Prompt and version management, eval datasets and LLM-as-judge scoring, RAG/agent tracing, online evaluation in production, and a path to manage classical models and LLMs through one stack

Buyer Guide
MLOps Platforms
Job 04
Control technology spend

AI is billed per use, so its cost grows with adoption while the rest of the budget is under review.

Job 01
Decide where AI goes in the business

The board wants an AI plan, and every function wants to go first.
