Online Serving of Features

Overview

FeatureByte supports online serving of features through a low-latency key-value store. This allows you to retrieve feature values in real-time for applications such as recommendation systems, fraud detection, and personalized user experiences.

Supported Key-Value Stores

FeatureByte currently supports the following key-value stores for online serving:

  • Redis

Setting Up Online Serving

To set up online serving, follow these steps:

  1. Provision a Key-Value Store: Set up a Redis instance that is accessible from your application environment. Ensure that it is configured for low-latency access.

  2. Configure FeatureByte: In the FeatureByte admin interface, navigate to the "Online Serving" section and add your Redis instance details, including host, port, and any authentication credentials.

  3. Catalog Configuration: On creating a catalog, specify the online store that you have configured. This will enable FeatureByte to write feature values to the specified key-value store.

  4. Feature Deployment: When deploying features, ensure that they are set to be written to the online store. FeatureByte will handle the serialization and storage of feature values in the key-value store.
