Feast is an open source feature store for machine learning. Feast is the fastest path to productionizing analytic data for model training and online inference.

Please see our documentation for more information about the project.

The above architecture is the minimal Feast deployment. Want to run the full Feast on Snowflake/GCP/AWS? Click here.
