Flyte Workflows define pipelines as Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), ensuring efficient compute but requiring new DAG executions from the beginning or intermediate points.
Flyte's workflow lifecycle involves compile time (serialization, packaging, uploading) and run time, focusing on speed and efficiency by using Promises instead of direct evaluation.
Tasks and workflows differ in evaluation timings, with workflows structured at registration time and tasks lazily evaluated at compile and executed at run time.
Dynamic workflows in Flyte combine task and workflow features, building DAG structures at runtime and returning Promise objects for async evaluation.
An example in the article showcases dynamic workflow usage for ML tasks, combining data preprocessing, model training, and hyperparameter tuning efficiently.
Dynamic workflows offer flexibility by lazily evaluating inputs and enable dynamic runtime input definitions, ideal for scenarios like hyperparameter optimization.
A combination of dynamic workflows and MapTasks can enhance parallel processing, as illustrated in the transformed ML pipeline example presented.
The article highlights the speed benefits of parallel processing in dynamic workflows, achieving a 20% faster execution compared to traditional methods.
Flyte's Dynamic Workflows provide dynamism for user-defined inputs at runtime, catering to modern use cases like LLMs and offering both flexibility and efficiency.
