The framework uses a three-layer architecture (pipelines/source/config), a centralized YAML config file, six independently runnable pipeline stages (feature engineering, training, promotion, inference, scheduling, monitoring), and a CLI with range-based execution for CI/CD integration. Dev tooling including black, ruff, isort, and pre-commit hooks is included to make the codebase team-ready. The post is part 4 of a series evolving from notebook prototypes to a production-grade, multi-engineer ML framework on Snowflake. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
