Overview
Feast 0.11 is here! This is the first release after the major changes introduced in Feast 0.10. We’ve focused on two areas in particular:
- Introducing a new online store, Redis, which supports feature serving at high throughput and low latency.
- Improving the Feast user experience through reduced boilerplate, smoother workflows, and improved error messages. A key addition here is the introduction of feature inferencing, which allows Feast to dynamically discover data schemas in data sources.
