Creating a Project

You can create a new ExpOps project either from scratch or using a template.

Create from Template

Templates provide a pre-configured project structure with example code:

expops create my-project --template sklearn-basic

Available templates:

• sklearn-basic: Runnable project skeleton with a tiny sklearn model
• premier-league: Comprehensive ML project with cluster config and dynamic charts

Create from Scratch

To create a new project without a template:

expops create my-project

This creates a minimal project structure that you can customize.

Project Structure

After creation, your project will have the following structure:

my-project/
├── configs/
│   └── project_config.yaml
├── models/
├── charts/
├── data/
├── requirements.txt
└── ...

Configuration Notes

Caching and Web UI

By default, projects use an in-memory KV backend which does not support persistent caching or web UI. For local development with these features:

1. Configure a persistent KV backend (Firestore) in configs/project_config.yaml
2. For Firestore: Add credentials to keys/firestore.json

See the Backends documentation for detailed setup instructions.
