Elyra is a JupyterLab extension suite that provides a visual pipeline editor for building, validating, and executing multi-step AI/ML workflows on Kubeflow Pipelines, Apache Airflow, or locally. It includes enhanced script editors (Python, R, Scala) with kernel management and debugging, a code snippet manager, and a metadata-driven system for runtime configurations, runtime images, and component catalogs. The backend (Python) handles pipeline parsing, validation, code generation via Jinja2 templates, and submission to remote orchestrators, while the frontend (TypeScript/React) delivers a rich UI with drag-and-drop, property editing, and real-time validation. The architecture is modular with pluggable runtime processors, component catalog connectors, and metadata storage backends, making it extensible for custom runtimes and data sources. Although primarily an application, it serves the MLOps domain by orchestrating data science notebooks and scripts as reproducible pipelines.
