About Dragonfly

Dragonfly is an open source Python library for scalable Bayesian optimisation. It uses probabilistic models to optimize expensive black-box functions efficiently. The library supports multiple acquisition functions and parallel evaluations.

Best for

Developers needing scalable Bayesian optimisation for expensive black-box function evaluations, especially in observability and ML tuning

Use cases

  • Hyperparameter tuning for machine learning models
  • Optimizing simulation parameters in scientific computing
  • Tuning observability system configurations

Notes

893 stars on GitHub. Last updated 2023-06-19. Licensed MIT.

Pros

  • Scalable Bayesian optimisation with support for parallel evaluations
  • Open source with active community contributions
  • Integrates well with existing Python workflows

Cons

  • Limited to Bayesian optimisation methods, not a general optimization library
  • Requires careful selection of acquisition functions for best results
  • Smaller community compared to alternatives like Optuna or Hyperopt
