The Pachyderm platform brings 6 together version control for data with the tools to build scalable 7 end-to-end ML/AI pipelines while empowering users to develop their 8 code in any language, framework, or tool of their choice. Pachyderm 9 has been proven to be the ideal foundation for teams looking to 10 use ML and AI to solve real-world problems in a reliable way. 11 12 The Pachyderm platform includes the following main components: 13 14 - Pachyderm File System (PFS) 15 - Pachyderm pipelines 16 17 To start, you need to understand the foundational concepts of Pachyderm's 18 data versioning and pipeline semantics. After you have a good grasp of 19 the basics, you can use advanced concepts and features for more 20 complicated challenges. 21 22 This section describes the following Pachyderm concepts: 23 24 <div class="row"> 25 <div class="column-2"> 26 <div class="card-square mdl-card mdl-shadow--2dp"> 27 <div class="mdl-card__title mdl-card--expand"> 28 <h4 class="mdl-card__title-text">Versioned Data Concepts <i class="fa fa-rocket"></i></h4> 29 </div> 30 <div class="mdl-card__supporting-text"> 31 Learn about the main Pachyderm abstractions that 32 you will operate with when using Pachyderm. 33 </div> 34 <div class="mdl-card__actions mdl-card--border"> 35 <ul> 36 <li><a href="data-concepts/" class="md-typeset md-link"> 37 Versioned Data Concepts Overview 38 </a> 39 </li> 40 </ul> 41 </div> 42 </div> 43 </div> 44 <div class="column-2"> 45 <div class="card-square mdl-card mdl-shadow--2dp"> 46 <div class="mdl-card__title mdl-card--expand"> 47 <h4 class="mdl-card__title-text">Pipeline Concepts <i class="fa fa-cogs"></i></h4> 48 </div> 49 <div class="mdl-card__supporting-text"> 50 Learn the main concepts of the Pachyderm 51 pipeline system. 52 </div> 53 <div class="mdl-card__actions mdl-card--border"> 54 <ul> 55 <li><a href="pipeline-concepts/" class="md-typeset md-link"> 56 Pipeline Concepts Overview 57 </a> 58 </li> 59 </div> 60 </div> 61 </div> 62 </div>
