disclosure: I work with robertk at Avant, where we've developed syberia and lockbox specifically to have reproducible model builds and to turn R model objects into API servers in a deterministic way. Lockbox is closely modelled after ruby's bundler, and syberia is like rails for data science. I've you've ever written a ruby-on-rails or a django app you'll feel like at home using lockbox. I encourage you to give it a try, and let us know in github issues if you are having any trouble using it
- claytonjy 9y agoI'd love to hear more about how it compares to other workflows. Is it worth the learning curve? There's a lot going on here, and a lot of overlap with more popular and widely used tools in the R world. My small team is R-first and a big fan of the tidyverse, and we're exploring using Docker in tandem with tools like plumber (R package for building simple API's around R code) and pachyderm (language-independent, containerized data pipelining with straightforward cloud integration) for different projects. Does Syberia fit in nicely with these tools, or aim to replace them with its own set of conventions and philosophies?
