What is kedro-mlflow?

kedro-mlflow is a kedro-plugin for lightweight and portable integration of mlflow capabilities inside kedro projects. It enforces Kedro principles to make mlflow usage as production ready as possible. Its core functionalities are :

• experiment tracking: kedro-mlflow intends to enhance reproducibility for machine learning experimentation. With kedro-mlflow installed, you can effortlessly register your parameters or your datasets with minimal configuration in a kedro run. Later, you will be able to browse your runs in the mlflow UI, and retrieve the runs you want. This is directly linked to Mlflow Tracking.
• pipeline as model: kedro-mlflow intends to be be an agnostic machine learning framework for people who want to write portable, production ready machine learning pipelines. It offers a convenient API to convert a Kedro pipeline to a model in the mlflow sense. This "model" is self contained : it includes preprocessing and postprocessing steps as well as artifacts produced during training. Consequently, you can serve your Kedro pipeline as an API with one line of code and share. This is directly linked to Mlflow Models.

How do I install kedro-mlflow?

Important: kedro-mlflow is only compatible with kedro>=0.16.0 and mlflow>=1.0.0. If you have a project created with an older version of Kedro, see this migration guide.

You can install kedro-mlflow with several tools and from several packaging platforms:

Logo	Platform	Command
	PyPI	pip install kedro-mlflow or uv pip install kedro-mlflow
	Conda Forge	conda install kedro-mlflow --channel conda-forge
	GitHub	pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/Galileo-Galilei/kedro-mlflow.git

I strongly recommend to use a package manager (like conda) to create a virtual environment and to read kedro installation guide.

Getting started

The documentation contains:

• A quickstart in 1 mn example which demonstrates how you to setup your project, track parameters and datasets, and browse your runs in the UI.
• A section for advanced experiment tracking to show more advanced features (mlflow configuration through the plugin, package and serve a kedro Pipeline...)
• A section to demonstrate how to use kedro-mlflow to package kedro pipelines as mlflow models to deliver production ready pipelines and serve them. This section comes with an example repo you can clone and try out.

Some frequently asked questions on more advanced features:

• You want to log additional metrics to the run? -> Try MlflowMetricsHistoryDataset !
• You want to log nice dataviz of your pipeline that you register with MatplotlibWriter? -> Try MlflowArtifactDataset to log any local files (.png, .pkl, .csv...) automagically!
• You want to create easily an API to share your awesome model to anyone? -> See if pipeline_ml_factory can fit your needs
• You want to do something that is not straigthforward with current implementation? Open an issue, and let's see what happens!

Release and roadmap

The release history centralizes packages improvements across time. The main features coming in next releases are visible on the repo's project. Feel free to upvote/downvote and discuss prioritization in associated issues.

Disclaimer

This package is still in active development. We use SemVer principles to version our releases. Since we reached 1.0.0 (compatible with kedro==1.X and mlflow==1.X or 2.X) on 27th of July 2025, breaking changes will lead to major version number increment, while releases which do not introduce breaking changes in the API will lead to minor or patch (for bugs) version number increment. Current kedro-mlflow 2.0.2 is only compatible with mlflow==3.x

If you want to migrate from an older version of kedro-mlflow to most recent ones, see the migration guide.

Can I contribute?

We'd be happy to receive help to maintain and improve the package. Any PR will be considered (from typo in the docs to core features add-on) Please check the contributing guidelines.
