How to Build a Mock TFX Pipeline in Python
Simulate a TFX-style ML pipeline with simple Python functions to understand component orchestration, data flow, and artifact passing.
# Mock TFX pipeline to illustrate component orchestration
def CsvExampleGen(data_path):
"""Mock component: Simulates reading CSV data."""
print(f"ExampleGen: Reading from {data_path}")
return {"records": 100, "name": "examples"}
def StatisticsGen(example_artifact):
"""Mock component: Simulates genera…
How to Create a Mock Metaflow Flow in Python
Build a minimal Metaflow flow with two sequential steps that pass data between them using instance attributes.
from metaflow import FlowSpec, step, current
class MockFlow(FlowSpec):
"""A minimal Metaflow flow to demonstrate basic steps and branching."""
@step
def start(self):
self.category = "mock"
print(f"Start step for {self.category} flow")
self.next(self.process)
@step
def pr…
How to Define Dagster ML Assets in Python
Define a chain of Dagster software-defined assets that compute raw features, normalized features, and predictions for an ML pipeline.
from dagster import asset
@asset
def raw_features():
return {"sepal_length": [5.1, 4.9, 6.2], "sepal_width": [3.5, 3.0, 3.4]}
@asset
def normalized_features(raw_features):
values = raw_features["sepal_length"]
mean = sum(values) / len(values)
std = (sum((x - mean) ** 2 for x in values) / len(values…
How to Simulate an Airflow ML Pipeline in Python
Mock an Airflow ML pipeline in plain Python by defining steps, simulating their execution with delays, and returning a success summary.
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
import time
class MLPipeline:
def __init__(self, pipeline_name):
self.pipeline_name = pipeline_name
self.steps = []
def add_step(self, step_name, duration_seconds):
self.steps.append({"name": step_name, "duration": duration_seconds})
def …
