Problem

Scenario

You are building shared ML infrastructure for a university research environment. Multiple teams train models on overlapping institutional and research data, and they want a common place to define, discover, and serve reusable features without each project rebuilding the same pipelines.

Question

How would you design a feature store for reusable research features?

What this tests

  • Feature registry and reusable feature definitions
  • Offline and online feature serving
  • Batch versus streaming computation
  • Training-serving consistency and feature drift
