Welcome to the feature store newsletter brought to you by Logical Clocks, where we in a monthly cadence highlight the latest news, events, and insights as we help companies become successful in their machine learning transformation journey and empower businesses to be applied-AI model-driven companies.
Cost-Benefit Analysis of a Feature Store for ML
When you invest money in machine learning (ML), you typically start by investing in people. You hire data scientists, data engineers, and ML engineers to transform your data into insights that can help you both reduce costs and increase revenue. However, if you do not manage the ML assets you create (the feature engineering jobs, the feature data, the models, and the CI/CD pipelines), the cost of each ML project will be roughly constant - every new project will start over from scratch and your ML-readiness will grow slower that the leading companies in your field. That is because the leading ML companies have all invested in building a data platform for ML (aka a feature store).
This month we highlight the cost reductions and productivity improvement metrics of feature stores. Click at the image to read our cost-benefit analysis of feature stores and to have access to our Feature Store ROI Calculator which will help you estimate the return on investment that your business would have if a feature store were implemented into your ML pipeline.
