Feature store

A feature store manages reusable feature definitions and values for training and serving.

Raw dataFeature storeTrainingServingSame feature definitions for training and for serving.
A feature store manages reusable feature definitions and values for training and serving. Values shown in the worked visual are illustrative unless the labels state otherwise.

How it works

Shared definitions reduce training-serving skew. Point-in-time retrieval prevents future information from leaking into historical examples.

A concrete example

Illustrative: serve 120 features under 15 ms and reconstruct their values as of 2026-01-15.

Do not confuse it with Data warehouse

a warehouse stores analytical data broadly; a feature store specializes in model-ready features and serving consistency.
