# 

Kedro is an open-source Python framework for creating reproducible, maintainable, and modular data science code.
It applies software engineering concepts to machine learning code including modularity, separation of concerns, and versioning.

Key features:
- Project templates for creating standardized project structures
- Data Catalog for managing and versioning datasets
- Pipeline abstraction for creating modular, reusable nodes
- Configuration management for parameters and credentials
- Extensive deployment options (Airflow, Databricks, Kubeflow, etc.)

For comprehensive kedro-dataset documentation, see: https://docs.kedro.org/projects/kedro-datasets/en/stable/llms.txt
For pipeline visualisation documentation, see: https://docs.kedro.org/projects/kedro-viz/en/stable/llms.txt
