Orchest

A visual pipeline builder for data science workflows that enabled interactive development without DAGs. **Note: Project is no longer actively developed** - creators recommend Apache Airflow for robust workflow solutions.

Use it when

• •Legacy support for existing Orchest pipelines (maintenance mode only)
• •Educational purposes to understand visual pipeline concepts
• •Prototype development before migrating to actively maintained alternatives
• •Teams evaluating visual pipeline builders should consider alternatives like Apache Airflow
• •Converting existing Orchest workflows to modern orchestration platforms
• •Understanding pipeline visualization concepts before adopting production tools
• •Historical analysis of visual pipeline building approaches
• •Research into discontinued MLOps tool architectures

Watch out

• ⚠**CRITICAL: No longer actively developed** - not suitable for new projects
• ⚠Security vulnerabilities will not receive updates or patches
• ⚠No community support or maintenance for bug fixes
• ⚠Integration with modern tools and frameworks will degrade over time
• ⚠Documentation may become outdated and inaccessible
• ⚠Docker images may become incompatible with newer systems
• ⚠Migration path to alternative solutions required for production workloads
• ⚠Risk of data lock-in with proprietary pipeline formats
