**APIs profiled:** 0

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.
