Kiln employs a modular design philosophy that enables seamless integration with an enterprise's existing technology ecosystem through MIT's open-source Python library and standardized OpenAPI REST interface. The architecture allows developers to embed Kiln's core functionality (data generation/model fine-tuning/prompted engineering) into customized workflows while maintaining the tool's original ease-of-use advantages.
The technical interface layer provides three types of integration methods: Python SDK encapsulates method calls for all functions and supports Jupyter Notebook interactive development; the REST API follows the OpenAPI 3.0 specification and can be called through any programming language; and the Webhook mechanism allows for real-time access to notifications of changes in training status. The system is also preconfigured with connectors to popular MLOps tools such as Airflow and MLflow.
Retail giant Walmart's adoption practices show that its data science team implemented Kiln's integration with its internal recommendation system through a Python library in just 50 lines of code, automatically transforming user behavior data into training samples and triggering daily incremental model updates. This open design ensures that the tool is both out-of-the-box for beginners and adaptable to the customization requirements of complex enterprise-level systems.
