America First Credit Union optimizes their MLOps stack with the Hopsworks Feature Store

America First Credit Union has been able to achieve exceptional gains over their previous process for training models by adopting the Hopsworks Feature Store as a core part of their workflow. These optimizations involve both a conversion from Oracle SQL centric workflows to PySpark workflows, as well as the use of HopsFS rather than Oracle RDBMS. These optimizations fall into a couple areas: compliance, speed of compute, speed of data access, and standardization of data access for machine learning models.
