Overview
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.
π Architecture
The above architecture is the minimal Feast deployment. Want to run the full Feast on Snowflake/GCP/AWS? Click here.
π£ Getting Started
1. Install Feast
pip install feast
2. Create a feature repository
feast init my_feature_repo
cd my_feature_repo
3. Register your feature definitions and set up your feature store
feast apply
4. Explore your data in the web UI (experimental)
5. Build a training dataset
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)
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
CURRENT_TIME=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
feast materialize-incremental $CURRENT_TIME
Materializing feature view driver_hourly_stats from 2021-04-14 to 2021-04-15 done!
7. Read online features at low latency
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)
{
"driver_id": [1001],
"driver_hourly_stats__conv_rate": [0.49274],
"driver_hourly_stats__acc_rate": [0.92743],
"driver_hourly_stats__avg_daily_trips": [72]
}
