Last I checked it wasn't easy to use something like optuna to do hyperparameter tuning with hydra/DVC.

Ideally I'd like the tool I use for data versioning (DVC/git-lfs/gif-annex) to be orthogonal to that which I use for hyperparameter sweeping (DVD/optuna/SageMaker experiments), and orthogonal to that which I use for configuration management (DVC/Hydra/Plain YAML), to that what I use for experimental DAG management (DVC/Makefile)

Optuna is becoming very popular in the data-science/deep learning ecosystem at the moment. It would be great to see more composable tools, rather than having to opt all-in into a given ecosystem.

Love the work that DVC is doing though to tackle these difficult problems though!

Big +1 about composability and orthogonality. I don't want one "do it all" tool, I want a collection of small tools that interoperate nicely. Like how you can use Airflow and DBT together, but neither tool really tries to do what the other one does (not that Airflow is "small", but still).
