About Flyte

Website | GitHub

Flyte is an open-source orchestrator that facilitates building production-grade data and ML pipelines. It’s built for scalability and reproducibility, leveraging Kubernetes as its underlying platform. With Flyte, user teams can construct pipelines using the Python SDK, then deploy them seamlessly on both cloud and on-premises environments, enabling distributed processing and efficient use of resources.

Why you should contribute

Hacktoberfest is a month-long open-source celebration and GitHub's largest contributor drive. It's a great opportunity to get involved with the open-source community, learn something new and earn swag. No matter your expertise, you can be a part of Hacktoberfest.

If you're wondering why you should contribute to Hacktoberfest and Flyte, here are three reasons:

1. It's fun! Getting involved with the open-source community is an awesome experience and can be really rewarding. Ours is an active community, and we assure you that you’ll get to learn tons from it. Join our Slack to be a part of the Flyte family!
2. You'll learn something new! There are lots of ways to contribute: writing code, adding tutorials, fixing bugs and so on. Flyte has already earned its place as a sophisticated workflow orchestration platform, and contributing to it could help you gain access to engineering know-how. 
3. You'll get some swag! You can earn a limited-edition swag every time you submit four pull requests (PRs) during the month of October — and there’s Flyte swag as well!
