| Coding Standards     | Test-driven development using [`pytest`](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest), produce well-documented code using [Sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/), create linted code with support for [`ruff`](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff) and make use of the standard Python logging library. |

| Flexible Deployment  | Deployment strategies that include single or distributed-machine deployment as well as additional support for deploying on Argo, Prefect, Kubeflow, AWS Batch and Databricks.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |



## How do I use Kedro?



The [Kedro documentation](https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/) first explains [how to install Kedro](https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/get_started/install.html) and then introduces [key Kedro concepts](https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/get_started/kedro_concepts.html).



You can then review the [spaceflights tutorial](https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/tutorial/spaceflights_tutorial.html) to build a Kedro project for hands-on experience



For new and intermediate Kedro users, there's a comprehensive section on [how to visualise Kedro projects using Kedro-Viz](https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/visualisation/index.html).

Additional documentation explains [how to work with Kedro and Jupyter notebooks](https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/notebooks_and_ipython/index.html), and there are a set of advanced user guides for advanced for key Kedro features. We also recommend the [API reference documentation](/kedro) for further information.



## Why does Kedro exist?



Kedro is built upon our collective best-practice (and mistakes) trying to deliver real-world ML applications that have vast amounts of raw unvetted data. We developed Kedro to achieve the following:



- To address the main shortcomings of Jupyter notebooks, one-off scripts, and glue-code because there is a focus on

  creating **maintainable data science code**

- To enhance **team collaboration** when different team members have varied exposure to software engineering concepts

- To increase efficiency, because applied concepts like modularity and separation of concerns inspire the creation of

  **reusable analytics code**



Find out more about how Kedro can answer your use cases from the [product FAQs on the Kedro website](https://kedro.org/#faq).



## The humans behind Kedro



The [Kedro product team](https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/contribution/technical_steering_committee.html#kedro-maintainers) and a number of [open source contributors from across the world](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/releases) maintain Kedro.



## Can I contribute?



Yes! We welcome all kinds of contributions. Check out our [guide to contributing to Kedro](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/wiki/Contribute-to-Kedro).



## Where can I learn more?



There is a growing community around Kedro. We encourage you to ask and answer technical questions on [Slack](https://slack.kedro.org/) and bookmark the [Linen archive of past discussions](https://linen-slack.kedro.org/).



We keep a list of [technical FAQs in the Kedro documentation](https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/faq/faq.html) and you can find a  growing list of blog posts, videos and projects that use Kedro over on the [`awesome-kedro` GitHub repository](https://github.com/kedro-org/awesome-kedro). If you have created anything with Kedro we'd love to include it on the list. Just make a PR to add it!



## How can I cite Kedro?



If you're an academic, Kedro can also help you, for example, as a tool to solve the problem of reproducible research. Use the "Cite this repository" button on [our repository](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro) to generate a citation from the [CITATION.cff file](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-citation-files).



## Python version support policy

* The core [Kedro Framework](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro) supports all Python versions that are actively maintained by the CPython core team. When a [Python version reaches end of life](https://devguide.python.org/versions/#versions), support for that version is dropped from Kedro. This is not considered a breaking change.

* The [Kedro Datasets](https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro-plugins/tree/main/kedro-datasets) package follows the [NEP 29](https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html) Python version support policy. This means that `kedro-datasets` generally drops Python version support before `kedro`. This is because `kedro-datasets` has a lot of dependencies that follow NEP 29 and the more conservative version support approach of the Kedro Framework makes it hard to manage those dependencies properly.
