/ do more with less

Use fractional GPUs & target specific accelerators

Need for GPUs vary by workloads. Targeting specific accelerators with Union is as simple as adding an annotation on a function. Moreover, increase utilization and reduce cost by allocating multiple tasks on a single GPU, ensuring strict memory isolation.

Users of Union often need multiple GPU Pools for different use cases, ranging from training, fine tuning, batch inference and more. You are able to leverage Nvidia GPUs, Google TPUs, AWS Silicon and other accelerators to optimize performance, cost and availability.

Seamlessly adapt to diverse computing needs with an array of GPU Pools tailored for various applications, including training, LLM fine-tuning, batch inference, and beyond. Harness the power of Nvidia GPUs, Google TPUs, AWS Silicon, and other cutting-edge accelerators to maximize performance and minimize costs.

/ bring your entire organization together on the same platform

Track lineage & build event driven workflows

Automatically track end-to-end lineage between workflows and teams with Artifacts, a data catalog and model registry built on top of workflow inputs and outputs.

Seamlessly automate downstream workflows (such as model training) in response to the completion of upstream workflows (such as data processing) with Triggers.

/ better performance

Accelerated datasets, faster executions

Dramatically boost the performance of big file reads with Accelerated Datasets, which can reduce time to completion for some workflows by more than 90%.

The core engine at Union has been fine tuned and optimized for faster executions. Users experience drastically improved performance of certain workflows by up to 95%.

Airflow

Union

Versioning

Easily experiment and iterate in isolation with versioned tasks and workflows.

Multi-tenancy

A centralized infrastructure for your team and organization, enables multiple users to share the same platform while maintaining their own distinct data and configurations.

Type checking

Strongly typed inputs and outputs can simplify data validation and highlight incompatibilities between tasks making it easier to identify and troubleshoot errors before launching the workflow.

Caching

Caching the output of task executions can accelerate subsequent executions and prevent wasted resources.

Data lineage

As a data-aware platform, it can simplify rollbacks and error tracking.

Immutability

Immutable executions help ensure reproducibility by preventing any changes to the state of an execution.

Recovery

Rerun only failed tasks in a workflow to save time, resources, and more easily debug.

Human-in-the-loop

Enable human intervention to supervise, tune and test workflows - resulting in improved accuracy and safety.

Intra-task checkpointing

Checkpoint progress within a task execution in order to save time and resources in the event of task failure.

Reproducibility

With every task versioned and every dependency set is captured, making it easy to share workflows across teams and reproduce results.

/ AI orchestration: the essential fabric for rapid Data, ML, & AI development

The best teams choose Union & Flyte

Across Data, ML, and AI, Flyte has established a stellar reputation as the most scalable AI orchestrator. It manages and executes workflows with over 10,000 CPUs and tens of thousands of pipelines, all powered by Python code. Union brings the powerful Flyte platform to your team in a managed environment, so you don’t have to set it up. Discover why the Flyte-powered Union is a game-changer

Faster time-to-market

In today’s fast-paced business environment, the ability to quickly develop and deploy machine learning models can be the difference between success and failure.

Union helps businesses accelerate their ML projects by automating many of the processes involved in model development and deployment, reducing the time and effort required to get models into production.

View Union features

Scalable ML workflows

Scaling machine learning efforts can be challenging due to the need for specialized infrastructure, in-house expertise in distributed systems management, and tools to handle large-scale data processing and model training.

Union enables reproducibility, observability at the workflow, task, and data level, and provides plugins for model deployment and distributed model training tools and frameworks.

Reduce ML technical debt

Without standardized operations and processes in place, many teams struggle to promote models to production resulting in sunk costs and wasted compute resources.

Union enables more efficient and accurate workflows through automated validation and optimization throughout the development and deployment process.

Read ML use case

Integrate with existing tooling

Whether you are working with ML frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch, or using tools like Jupyter notebooks and Apache Spark, Union is designed with an extensible plugin system that spans both data science and infrastructure stacks.

This allows users to leverage the power of a managed platform without disrupting existing processes.

“We're mainly using Flyte™ because of its cloud native capabilities. We do everything in the cloud, and we also don't want to be limited to a single cloud provider. So having the ability to run everything through Kubernetes is amazing for us.”

Maarten de Jong, Python Developer at Blackshark.ai

“We're going to have 10,000-plus CPUs that we plan to use every day to process the raw data. There'll be 30 different targets approximately that we're collecting data on every day. That's about 200 GB of raw data and probably 2 TB or so on the output — a lot of data process. We're leaning heavily on Flyte™ to make that happen.”

“One of the biggest reasons we picked Flyte™ was because it is ideologically aligned with what we think all MLOps systems should have: strong lineage guarantees.”

Jake Neyer, Software Engineer at Striveworks

“One thing that I really like compared to my previous experience with some of these tools: the local dev experience with pyflyte and the sandbox are super, super nice to reduce friction between production and dev environment.”

Krishna Yeramsetty, Principal Data Scientist at Infinome

“You can say, ‘Give me imputation’ and [Flyte™ will] launch 40 spot instances that are cheaper than your on-demand instance that you're using for your notebook and return the results back in memory.”

Calvin Leather, Staff Engineer and Tech Lead at Embark Veterinary

“Flyte™’s scalability, data lineage, and caching capabilities enable us to train hundreds of models on petabytes of geospatial data, giving us an edge in our business.”

Arno, CTO at Blackshark.ai

“We get a lot of reusable workflows, and Flyte™ makes it fairly easy to share complex machine learning and different dependencies between teams without actually having to put all the dependencies into one container.”

Bernhard Stadlbauer, Data Engineer at Pachama

“Union Cloud solves our operational complexity problems across diverse workloads, whether it is running data cleaning & pre-processing workflows or protein structure ML predictions for low-volume, high-complexity scientific workloads to large-scale scientific simulations. Additionally, the platform can drive down the relative cost of protein production by orders of magnitude. With Union Cloud as our standardized workflow orchestration platform, we can stop managing our own systems and infrastructure, and instead focus on antibody discovery and development.”
