This time we talked about one of the most vibrant questions for any MLOps practitioner: how to choose the right tools for your ML team, given the huge amount of open-source and proprietary MLOps tools available on the market today.

We discussed several criteria to rely on when choosing a tool, including:

- The requirements of the particular team use-cases
- The scaling capacity of the tool
- The cost of migration from a chosen tool
- The cost of teaching the team to use this tool
- The company or the community behind the tool

Apart from that, we talked about particular use-cases and discussed the trade-offs between waiting for a new release of your tool to get the missing piece of functionality, switching to another tool, and building an in-house solution.

We also touched the topic of organising MLOps teams and practices across large companies with a lot of ML teams.
