Lyft's Feature Store, a core infrastructure component in its Data Platform, optimizes the management & deployment of ML features at scale. It centralizes feature engineering & ensures uniformity across models & workflows by streamlining feature creation & storage for both offline/online model training & inference, facilitating low-latency access & high-throughput processing. This presentation covers its architecture, practical uses, performance, developer experience, optimization efforts, & evolution over the last 5+ years. We hope to demonstrate its role in empowering Lyft engineers to develop service components & models more effectively, including for future AI/LLM applications.
