Hi all, I’m new to metaflow as well. Does anyone have any insights on generating cards when flows are running in a kubernetes cluster? I’ve tried adding the card decorator to my flow but when when I do

python dummy.py card view start

the pathspec is not found.

hey! do you have any logs of the error message.

Hi! thanks for responding.

I see, you are running a local metadata with kuberentes. Short story is that cards are not compatible on kuberentes with local metadata provider. You need a metadata service to generate cards on kubernetes.

Ah ok. I figured it was something like that. Can I find examples of setting that up in the docs?

You need a remote metadata provider for cards to get generated on kuberentes. The metaflow service helps with this

Thank you! I’ll read up and see what I can get cooking 🙂

Basically here are the changes you need to make : 1. Deploy a metadata service that can be accessed by your cluster 2. Reference the address to this service in your

METAFLOW_SERVICE_URL

in your configuration file This much should get you started with cards getting generated on kubernetes and they also showing up on local. Ideally outside deploying the service, there should be no change in the code. Only in the metaflow config file to make everything work as expected.

Perfect, this has been extremely helpful. Thank you again.
