## Join us on Slack! 👋👋👋 Come say hi on Slack! Check out our DeepWiki! ## Overview Feast (Feature Store) is an open source feature store for machine learning. Feast is the fastest path to manage existing infrastructure to productionize analytic data for model training and online inference. Feast allows ML platform teams to: Make features consistently available for training and serving by managing an offline store (to process historical data for scale-out batch scoring or model training), a low-latency online store (to power real-time prediction), and a battle-tested feature server (to serve pre-computed features online). Avoid data leakage by generating point-in-time correct feature sets so data scientists can focus on feature engineering rather than debugging error-prone dataset joining logic. This ensure that future feature values do not leak to models during training. Decouple ML from data infrastructure by providing a single data access layer that abstracts feature storage from feature retrieval, ensuring models remain portable as you move from training models to serving models, from batch models to realtime models, and from one data infra system to another. Please see our documentation for more information about the project. ## 📐 Architecture The above architecture is the minimal Feast deployment. Want to run the full Feast on Snowflake/GCP/AWS? Click here. ## 🐣 Getting Started ### 1. Install Feast commandline pip install feast ### 2. Create a feature repository commandline feast init my_feature_repo cd my_feature_repo/feature_repo ### 3. Register your feature definitions and set up your feature store commandline feast apply ### 4. Explore your data in the web UI (experimental) commandline feast ui ### 5. Build a training dataset python from feast import FeatureStore import pandas as pd from datetime import datetime entity_df = pd.DataFrame.from_dict({ "driver_id": [1001, 1002, 1003, 1004], "event_timestamp": [ datetime(2021, 4, 12, 10, 59, 42), datetime(2021, 4, 12, 8, 12, 10), datetime(2021, 4, 12, 16, 40, 26), datetime(2021, 4, 12, 15, 1 , 12) ] }) store = FeatureStore(repo_path=".") training_df = store.get_historical_features( entity_df=entity_df, features = [ 'driver_hourly_stats:conv_rate', 'driver_hourly_stats:acc_rate', 'driver_hourly_stats:avg_daily_trips' ], ).to_df() print(training_df.head()) # Train model # model = ml.fit(training_df) commandline event_timestamp driver_id conv_rate acc_rate avg_daily_trips 0 2021-04-12 08:12:10+00:00 1002 0.713465 0.597095 531 1 2021-04-12 10:59:42+00:00 1001 0.072752 0.044344 11 2 2021-04-12 15:01:12+00:00 1004 0.658182 0.079150 220 3 2021-04-12 16:40:26+00:00 1003 0.162092 0.309035 959 ### 6. Load feature values into your online store commandline CURRENT_TIME=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S") feast materialize-incremental $CURRENT_TIME commandline Materializing feature view driver_hourly_stats from 2021-04-14 to 2021-04-15 done! ### 7. Read online features at low latency python from pprint import pprint from feast import FeatureStore store = FeatureStore(repo_path=".") feature_vector = store.get_online_features( features=[ 'driver_hourly_stats:conv_rate', 'driver_hourly_stats:acc_rate', 'driver_hourly_stats:avg_daily_trips' ], entity_rows=[{"driver_id": 1001}] ).to_dict() pprint(feature_vector) # Make prediction # model.predict(feature_vector) json { "driver_id": [1001], "driver_hourly_stats__conv_rate": [0.49274], "driver_hourly_stats__acc_rate": [0.92743], "driver_hourly_stats__avg_daily_trips": [72] } ## 📦 Functionality and Roadmap The list below contains the functionality that contributors are planning to develop for Feast.
