Analytics
In order to help us better understand how the community uses ZenML, the pip package reports anonymized usage statistics. You can always opt out by setting the MLSTACKS_ANALYTICS_OPT_IN environment variable to False:
Why does MLStacks collect analytics?
In addition to the community at large, MLStacks is created and maintained by a startup based in Munich, Germany called ZenML GmbH. We're a team of techies that love MLOps and want to build tools that fellow developers would love to use in their daily work. This is us if you want to put faces to the names!
However, in order to improve MLStacks and understand how it is being used, we use analytics to have an overview of how it is used 'in the wild'. This not only helps us find bugs but also helps us prioritize features and commands that might be useful in future releases. If we did not have this information, all we really get is pip download statistics and chatting with people directly, which while being valuable, is not enough to seriously better the tool as a whole.
How does MLStacks and ZenML collect these statistics?
MLStacks uses Segment as the data aggregation library for all our analytics. The entire code is entirely visible and can be seen at client.py.
None of the data sent can identify you individually but allows us to understand how MLStacks is being used holistically.
