Feast Java components

Overview

This repository contains the following Feast components.

• Feast Core: The central feature registry used to define and manage entities and features.
• Feast Serving: A service used to serve the latest feature values to models.
• Feast Java SDK: A client used to retrieve features from Feast Serving.
• Helm Charts: The repository also contains Helm charts to deploy Feast Core and Feast Serving into a Kubernetes cluster.

Architecture

• Feast Core has a dependency on Postgres.
• Feast Serving has a dependency on an online store (Redis) for retrieving features. The process of ingesting data into the online store (Redis) is decoupled from the process of reading from it. Please see Feast Spark for more details about ingesting data into the online store.
• Feast Serving has a dependency on Feast Core.
• The Go and Python Clients are not a part of this repository.
