Flexible Deployment for Your AI Workflows

Run ZenML wherever your AI workflows live. Whether you're experimenting locally or scaling to production, ZenML lets you orchestrate, manage, and deploy on our SaaS, in your cloud, or fully self-hosted.

Built on a Robust Client-Server Architecture

ZenML is a metadata layer on top of your existing infrastructure, meaning all data and compute stays on your side.

Central hub managing your ML metadata
Store your pipelines, runs, stacks, and configurations. It provides a REST server for communication.
Your interface to interact with the ZenML Server
It enables you to trigger actions, access information, and control your ML operations.
Visualize your pipelines, artifacts, and stacks.
Usually bundled with the server, the dashboard provides a seamless visual experience on top of the ZenML Client.
