High-performance data management and analytics tools, software for managing APIs and Kubernetes containers, and application development and machine learning platforms: Here’s a look at the open-source software—both new and tried-and-true—that caught our attention in 2022.

TensorFlow

TensorFlow is a complete machine learning platform for preparing and loading data, building production-grade machine learning models, according to the tensorflow.org website. It offers a comprehensive ecosystem of tools, libraries and community resources that “lets researchers push the state-of-the-art in ML and developers easily build and deploy ML-powered applications,” according to GitHub.

TensorFlow was originally developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain team within Google’s Machine Intelligence Research organization to conduct machine learning and deep neural networks research, the GitHub posting says.

TensorFlow is available under the Apache License 2.0.
