High Performance Feature Serving with Feast on AWS
apply(meetup) - Aug '21 - 10 minutes
In this lightning talk we will showcase how teams can deploy and productionize a feature store on AWS with Feast. We will demonstrate how users can train a machine learning model using historical features from Redshift, deploy the model into production on AWS, then serve fresh feature values to the model using a serverless feature serving stack with DynamoDB.
Willem Pienaar is a tech lead at Tecton, where he leads the Feast open source feature store. Willem created Feast while leading the Data Science Platform team at Gojek.
