Feast
tl; dr; A combinator data component that installs Feast, a feature store.
Introduction
Feast is an open-source feature store. A feature store allows you to manage, govern, and trace features derived from raw data. This is useful because it helps to unify and standardise, which reduces waste, improves quality, and makes models more reproducible.
Feast does not perform any computation. You can think of it as a meta-database; a database that manages other databases. It effectively creates a cache of feature data, keyed by time. The Feast libraries and CLIs provide a consistent way of pushing or streaming new data into the cache. Downstream systems use a similar interface to access point-in-time data. Learn more about feast in the documentation.
