About:
envd is a command-line tool that builds reproducible, isolated development environments for AI and machine learning workflows. It abstracts away complex dependencies like CUDA drivers and Python libraries into a simple, version-controlled configuration. This ensures consistent setups across local machines, remote servers, and cloud platforms, eliminating the 'works on my machine' problem.
Key Features:
  • Declarative environment configuration using Starlark
  • Automatic management of CUDA, cuDNN, and GPU drivers
  • Seamless integration with Jupyter, VS Code, and SSH
  • Built-in layer caching for fast environment rebuilds
  • Portable environments that work across different hosts
Use Cases:
  • Standardizing ML development environments across a team
  • Reproducible experiments for research papers and model training
  • Setting up cloud-based development environments (e.g., on AWS EC2)
Alternatives:
  • Docker – Docker is more general-purpose, while envd is specifically optimized for the dependencies and workflows of AI/ML development.
  • Conda – Conda manages Python packages but does not handle system-level dependencies like CUDA or provide full environment isolation.
  • Poetry – Poetry is excellent for Python dependency management but lacks support for non-Python system libraries and GPU drivers.
