“Without Flyte Agents, we would need to refactor our legacy models by recreating them, evaluating performance, productionizing, etc. This is not trivial, and no business wants to take on this type of effort, especially if the model is not broken. We were able to save nine months of engineering time by avoiding any code changes, and simply lifting and shifting our Airflow code and running it with Union.”
