Use cases
- Track dataset versions and model artifacts across experiment iterations
- Reproduce ML pipelines and results from previous runs
- Collaborate on ML projects with versioned data and experiment history
Pros
- Integrates seamlessly with Git for unified project versioning
- Handles large files and remote storage without bloating repositories
- Tracks full experiment lineage including parameters, metrics, and outputs
Cons
- Requires Python and command-line familiarity for typical workflows
- Learning curve for teams unfamiliar with version control concepts
- Remote storage setup and configuration adds operational overhead
