Hi there, What is the difference between 1. Metaflow ui https://github.com/Netflix/metaflow-ui 2. ui backend service https://github.com/Netflix/metaflow-service/tree/master/services/ui_backend_service

metaflow UI is the UI where you can see details about your metaflow runs ( steps/tasks ) which ones are running /failed/pending etc. How long did each step take.. ui-backend-service is the backend that responds with data that is shown on the metaflow-UI.

For production settings, Does the backend ui service require access to the DB and data store (s3) like the metadata service?

@glamorous-butcher-83479 sorry, I was wrong. Yes backend UI service does require connection to S3.

Alright thank you 🙂
