Package still maintained? Alternatives?

Open ynouri opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi Uber / Fiber team,

We really like your minimalist approach to distribute Python workloads using K8s / Multiprocessing API. However the package's last commit is from 2021. I assume fiber is not maintained / used in production anymore?

Curious if anybody in the community is still using this and if not, what alternatives they found.

Thank you!

Heyy ynourl. Did you find any alternatives or implement Fiber? Please let me know. Thanks

We haven't implemented Fiber or any alternatives.

I liked the lighweight approach of Fiber. But if you have resources to run a Dask or Ray cluster on top of K8s, you might have viable Python first alternatives there.

For example Ray supports the multiprocessing API too: https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-more-libs/multiprocessing.html
