Whole composed of pieces aimed at working together
Examples of Appareils:
- Architectural: "Appareil de défense": Arrangement and layout of stones in a masonry structure
- Legal: "Appareil des loi": Set of laws destined to work together
- Biology: "Appareil digestif": System of organs that collaborate for digestive purposes
- Culinary: "Appareil à quiche": The mixed ingredients that form the base of quiche
- Tech: "Appareil électrique": Electrical device made of multiple parts
Define a simple way to write software as to easily: - reuse existing parts for new usecases - composing parts for new purposes - adding more parts that can easily interact with the rest of the ecosystem
The idea is to heavily rely on hydra and hydra_zen to automatically register python functions of interest to the hydra store. Then we get for free: - Extension of functionalities by defining new configurations - Configurable CLI - Parallel and HPC jobs using launchers Appareil adds: - Simple logic for defining chain of functions and exposing most useful config fields - hydra based dependency injection helper to convert any python function to a part - Next: easy integration with dvc for simple data versioning and pipeline execution management
