Create Feature Store

What is a Feature Store?

A Feature Store is a centralized repository for storing, managing, and sharing machine learning (ML) features or attributes used to train models. It is a scalable solution for organizing and cataloging features, making them easily accessible to data scientists and ML engineers across an organization. Feature Stores facilitate collaboration, version control, and reusability of features, streamlining the ML development process and improving model quality and efficiency.
