Outerbounds

Outerbounds is a fully managed platform for building and deploying production-grade AI, ML, and data systems, built on the open-source Metaflow framework originally developed at Netflix. It brings data, models, and agents together with software discipline: scalable, cost-efficient compute integrated with a customer's existing cloud and data platforms, GPU access and autoscaling, consistent offline/online runtimes, and enterprise controls including SOC 2 and HIPAA. The developer surface is the Metaflow Python SDK and the outerbounds configuration CLI rather than a public REST API. Outerbounds is joining Anaconda.

Outerbounds is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Data Analytics, Machine Learning, MLOps, and Artificial Intelligence.

Outerbounds’ developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, CLI, and 10 more developer resources.
