From my experience (and what this looks like) is that there isn't a ton of novel IP to open source here. A lot of the times ML "platforms" are composed of a number of open source components glued together in an elegant way (which I'm not implying is easy, because it's very difficult).

From looking at this from the outside the only things in this platform that may be open-sourceable would be the job scheduling and visualizations - and there are already variants of open source tooling which could be repurposed for those tasks (or may even be powering those components).

The main purpose of this post seems to be Uber's way of standardizing their workflows + a little extra glue (which they're calling their platform). It still provides a lot of value. Also, Uber does have a few cool open source projects: https://uber.github.io/ (but could admittedly have more).

You have a point. Describing their workflow has value to it.

With that said, the title of the post is not "Meet our workflow", It's "Meet X: bla bla". In the world of software, one expects to actually see a product named X that bla blas.

This is a really valuable thing to acknowledge. There is some sharing of company philosophies, but seldom do I see companies fully "open sourcing" their workflows and strategies. Perhaps because the people at the top see that as the real value their company brings - that knowledge. Nevertheless, it's extremely valuable and I wish I could see more things like that. Basecamp's book "Getting Real" is close to what that might look like, I think.

Absolutely! I assumed they had open sourced it and was searching for the Github link :(
