feast

Guide for working with Feast (Feature Store) — defining features, configuring feature_store.yaml, retrieving features online/offline, using the CLI, and building RAG retrieval pipelines. Use when the user asks about creating entities, feature views, on-demand feature views, stream feature views, feature services, data sources, feature_store.yaml configuration, feast apply/materialize commands, online or historical feature retrieval, or vector-based document retrieval with Feast.

Internals of the Feast codebase — how each component works, where the key abstractions live, and the data flow through the system. Use when asked how feast apply works, how the registry stores data, how materialization moves data, how get_online_features retrieves features, how the feature server works, how the Kubernetes operator manages deployments, or when navigating the codebase to understand where to make a change.

How to test and debug Feast — running targeted tests, writing unit tests for new components, debugging registry and online store issues, and inspecting live feature store state. Use when writing tests for a new feature, debugging a failing test, investigating a runtime error, or verifying that a change works correctly end-to-end.
