The TWIML AI Podcast (formerly This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence)
Feature Stores for MLOps with Mike del Balso - #420
19 Oct 2020
Today we’re joined by Mike del Balso, co-Founder and CEO of Tecton. Mike, who you might remember from our last conversation on the podcast, was a foundational member of the Uber team that created their ML platform, Michelangelo. Since his departure from the company in 2018, he has been busy building up Tecton, and their enterprise feature store. In our conversation, Mike walks us through why he chose to focus on the feature store aspects of the machine learning platform, the journey, personal and otherwise, to operationalizing machine learning, and the capabilities that more mature platforms teams tend to look for or need to build. We also explore the differences between standalone components and feature stores, if organizations are taking their existing databases and building feature stores with them, and what a dynamic, always available feature store looks like in deployment. Finally, we explore what sets Tecton apart from other vendors in this space, including enterprise cloud providers who are throwing their hat in the ring. The complete show notes for this episode can be found at twimlai.com/go/420. Thanks to our friends at Tecton for sponsoring this episode of the podcast!
