User Guide#

If this is your first time using Flyte, check out the Getting Started guide.

This User Guide, the Tutorials, and the Integrations examples cover all of the key features of Flyte for data analytics, data science and machine learning practitioners, organized by topic. Each section below introduces a core feature of Flyte and how you can use it to address specific use cases. Code for all of the examples can be found in the flytesnacks repo.

Flytesnacks comes with a specific environment to make running, documenting and contributing samples easy. If this is your first time running these examples, follow the environment setup guide to get started.
