An AI Engineer technical guide to Feature Store with FEAST

Data teams are starting to realize that operational machine learning requires solving data problems that extend far beyond the creation of data pipelines. Tecton team, highlighted some of the key data challenges that teams face when productionizing ML systems.

• Accessing the right raw data
• Building features from raw data
• Combining features into training data
• Calculating and serving features in production
• Monitoring features in production

A feature store helps overcoming the above described challenges and FEAST is one of the most popular open source feature store. Feast is an open-source feature store. It is the fastest path to operationalizing analytic data for model training and online inference. Feast enables on-demand transformations to generate features that combine request data with precomputed features (e.g. time_since_last_purchase), with plans to allow light-weight feature engineering.

In this technical video you will learn how to get started with FEAST feature store while learning how things works under to hood while you are working with your feature store.
