Main benefits of using Feature factory

1. Minimalistic project setup

   • config.yaml and orchestration notebook is all you need
   • no custom syntax necessary

2. 1st class support for both SQL and PySpark

   • Compared to Databricks Feature store API which supports only PySpark

3. Optimized writes and reads

   • Databricks Feature store approach

   

   

   • Our approach

<aside> 🚅 Our approach is 4x faster than N-merges (tested on ~40 dataframes)

1. Full metadata support
   • support for feature descriptions, categories and tags
2. Support for target based and latest calculation modes
   • same code for both modes
3. Full historization out of the box
