+# MLflow Usage and Maintance
+
+
+## Using MLflow on App Engine
+### To see the MLflow UI
+ML4H has a GAE url for MLflow
+
+The UI needs a username and password to access
+These are stored in the GCP Secret Manager
+
+### To add your experiments to this MLflow instance
+You can use this from your local machine or from your GCP VM
+
+To start, you will want to use the .env.template to make your own .env file
+cp .env.template .env
+and then update your python script with this path
+
+you will also need to log in using 
+gcloud auth application-default login 
+
+note the path that your auth json is stored at and put that into your .env file as well
+
+
+## General Architecture
+
+MLflow is using Cloud SQL as a backend database-- this stores all of the experiment runs that show up in the UI
+MLflow is stood up on App Engine. The server is packaged up as a docker image deployed. It is also running on CloudRun (though likely this will be taken down in the future)
+MLflow is uses a Google bucket as an artifact store.  
+
+
+
+## Setup and Maintanence
+
+The database for this instance is in GCP Cloud SQL
+To access the database, navigate to the GCP SQL dashboard, then navigate to the <database name> database 
+Next you want to connect by clicking OPEN CLOUD SHELL
+Once there you can log in with
+gcloud sql connect <username> --user=postgres --quiet
+
+Use the credentials from the GCP secret manager
+
+Once in the database, you can use \d to get a full list of tables
+Likely the tables you are interested in will be `runs` and `tags`
+
+In the future, to maximize security, the app can live behind a Identity-Aware Proxy.
+Note that this cannot be applied so specific services, so if in the future a different service as added, a different security set-up may be necessary
+
+
+
+
+### For the App Engine setup
+The default service account's name is PROJECT_ID@appspot.gserviceaccount.com
+
+Ensure that the service account your app is using to authenticate calls to Cloud SQL has the Cloud SQL Client IAM role.
+
+
+From the mlflow directory, run:
+gcloud app deploy
+gcloud sql instances describe broad-ml4cvd-staging-db
+
+
+
+(is this even necessary to include?)
+gcloud app deploy --image-url=us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/gvs-internal/rc-testing-repo/mlflow-imagine:latest
+
+
+
+
+Update the Mlflow docker (only needed for CloudRun implementation)
+docker build -t mlflow-gcp .
+docker tag mlflow-gcp us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/gvs-internal/rc-testing-repo/mlflow-imagine:latest
+
+TODO add bit about proxying to be able to see this
