📣 Contributors of the Month 📣 We’d like to give shout-outs to our Hacktoberfest contributors @Ryan Nazareth, Daniel Shuy and Jeremy Smith once again for all the hard work they’ve put in! You can find their contributions in the wrap-up blog post. All contributors of the month are available on flyte.org.

Folks as a reminder we have the community sync tomorrow and Pachama will be sharing their Flyte journey. If you have not already added yourself to the calendar - you can do so here - https://www.addevent.com/calendar/kE355955

hey all 👋 just a reminder that the UnionML OSS planning meeting is happening today at 12pm EST! Join us here: https://app.addevent.com/event/tj14110550/

Come join the weekly office hours! I’ll be on Zoom for the next 30 mins to answer your Flyte questions.

Hi everyone! 👋 We’ve just published the Airflow vs. Flyte flyte cheat sheet! It’ll serve as a quick reference guide to understand how the Flytekit syntax compares with the Airflow syntax. To all the Airflow folks who want to use Flyte in conjunction with Airflow, we’ve a handy provider you can use. Check out the cheat sheet and blog post, and if you find them helpful, please share them with your community!

Back in May/2022 the grpc team announced that they were publishing a new major version of the

protobuf

library. As expected, this major version was gradually picked up by the python ecosystem, including some of

flytekit

dependencies, specifically

grpcio

and

grpcio-status

which picked up this change in version 1.50. This explains why

flytekit

restricted the versions of those libraries starting on flytekit 1.2.4. In other words, we have to constrain the versions of those libraries until we are able to update

protobuf

to the new major version. This brings us to

flyteidl

, which is the component that actually generates the protobuf stubs and has the constraint on the

protobuf

library. We’re working to update

protobuf

and recently we published two incomplete patch versions of

flyteidl

(1.2.6 and 1.2.7), which were yanked. The expectation is that we’re going to publish a new minor version of

flyteidl

shortly and also publish a new version of

flytekit

, both of which will start to use the new major version of

protobuf

, at which time we can remove the

flytekit

constraints on

grpcio

.
