# Made-With-ML vs pipelines

*GraphCanon updated Aug 14, 2026*

## Verdict

Pick Made-With-ML if made-With-ML is about equipping developers with practical resources to design, develop, deploy and iterate on production-grade machine learning applications within their software engineering workflows; pick pipelines if pipelines from Kubeflow is optimized for Kubernetes environments and supports MLOps workflows with Emissary Executor by default.

[Made-With-ML](https://madewithml.com) reports 49k GitHub stars, 7.7k forks, and 26 open issues, last pushed Mar 4, 2026. [pipelines](https://www.kubeflow.org/docs/components/pipelines/) has 4.2k stars, 2.1k forks, and 512 open issues, last pushed Aug 3, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [Made-With-ML's repository](https://github.com/GokuMohandas/Made-With-ML) and [pipelines's repository](https://github.com/kubeflow/pipelines).

## Choose when

### Choose Made-With-ML if…

- Made-With-ML is primarily Jupyter Notebook; pipelines is Python.
- License: Made-With-ML is MIT, pipelines is Apache-2.0.
- Requirements: A foundational understanding of Python programming is required to fully benefit from the learning resources provided..
- Tags unique to Made-With-ML: data-engineering, data-quality, deep-learning, distributed-ml.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- If you are looking for comprehensive tutorials that connect foundational ML concepts directly with hands-on coding practices using Python and PyTorch.

### Choose pipelines if…

- pipelines is primarily Python; Made-With-ML is Jupyter Notebook.
- License: pipelines is Apache-2.0, Made-With-ML is MIT.
- Tags unique to pipelines: kubernetes, kubflow-pipelines.
- Use Pipelines when you are working in an existing Kubernetes cluster as it integrates seamlessly without any configuration hassles specific to container runtimes like Docker.

## When NOT to use Made-With-ML

- If you are looking for a niche-focused tool that caters specifically to a particular machine learning framework other than PyTorch.
- For developers who already have strong backgrounds in MLOps and require highly specialized tools for managing production-grade ML deployments without additional educational support.

## When NOT to use pipelines

- Avoid Pipelines from Kubeflow if you require support on a non-Kubernetes environment, as it is tightly integrated with Kubernetes services.
- Do not use this tool if your operations necessitate legacy Docker container runtime integration without the adaptability provided by Emissary Executor.
