featuresA feature store is a centralized place where data scientists from different teams across your organization can share features) for machine learning. The feature store allows them to search, reuse, and serve features in production at scale. As MLOps matures, feature stores are becoming a cornerstone of machine learning platforms for a few reasons:https://redis.io/blog/building-feature-stores-with-redis-introduction-to-feast-with-redis/
featuresWhen companies need to deliver real-time, ML-based applications to support high volumes of online traffic, Redis is most often selected as the foundation for the online feature store, thanks to its ability to deliver ultra-low latency with high throughput at scale. We’re seeing ML cloud platform providers offer feature stores using Redis, as in the recent examples of H2O AI Feature Store and Microsoft’s Azure Feature Store. And we’re also seeing a host of build-your-own implementations of feature stores using Redis at a variety of companies including Wix, Swiggy, Comcast, Zomato, AT&T, DoorDash, iFood, and Uber.https://redis.io/blog/building-feature-stores-with-redis-introduction-to-feast-with-redis/
featuresOpen source feature store implementations such as Feast are also choosing Redis. Redis was selected as Feast’s online store for real-time use cases at scale, first by the Indonesian ride-hailing company Gojek (who was the initial creator of Feast in collaboration with Google), and later by Feast’s early adopters, such as Udaan and Robinhood. In addition to that, Redis was selected by Microsoft for the online store of its new Azure Feature Store with Feast (stay tuned for more details on that soon!).https://redis.io/blog/building-feature-stores-with-redis-introduction-to-feast-with-redis/
featuresFeast (Feature store) is an open source feature store that’s part ofthe Linux Foundation’s AI & Data Foundation. Feast can serve features from a low-latency online store or from an offline store, while also providing a central registry, storage, and serving. This allows ML engineers and data scientists to discover the relevant features for ML use cases and serve them in production.https://redis.io/blog/building-feature-stores-with-redis-introduction-to-feast-with-redis/

featuresReal-time artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI/ML) use cases, such as fraud prevention and recommendation, are on the rise, and feature stores play a key role in deploying them successfully to production. According to popular open source feature store Feast, one of the most common questions users ask in their community Slack is: howscalable/performantis Feast?This is because the most important characteristic of a feature store for real-time AI/ML is the feature serving speed from the online store to the ML model for online predictions or scoring. Successful feature stores can meet stringent latency requirements (measured in milliseconds), consistently (think p99) and at scale (up to millions of queries per second, with gigabytes to terabytes-sized datasets) while at the same time maintaining a low total cost of ownership and high accuracy.https://redis.io/blog/feature-stores-for-real-time-artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning/
featuresAs we will see in this post, the choice of an online feature store, as well as the architecture of the feature store, play important roles in determining how performant and cost-effective it is. It’s no wonder that oftentimes companies, before choosing their online feature store, perform thorough benchmarking to see which choice of architecture or online feature store is the most performant and cost-effective. In this post, we will review architectures and benchmarks from both DIY feature stores built by companies successfully deploying real-time AI/ML use cases and open source and commercial feature stores. Let’s begin.https://redis.io/blog/feature-stores-for-real-time-artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning/
featuresIn the diagram above you can see an example of how the online mortgage company Better.com implemented its lead scoring ranking system using the open-source Feast feature store. As presented by Vitaly Sergey, Senior Software Engineer at Better.com, the features are materialized from the offline stores (S3, Snowflake, and Redshift) to the online store (Redis). In addition to that, features are also ingested into the online store from streaming sources (Kafka topics). Feast recently added support for streaming data sources (in addition to batch data sources) which is currently supported only for Redis. Supporting streaming data sources is very important for real-time AI/ML use cases as these use cases rely on fresh live data.https://redis.io/blog/feature-stores-for-real-time-artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning/
