Building a Feature Store to Reduce the Time to Production of ML Models

Within the world of software development and especially in the area of Machine Learning, times assigned to analysis, development and deployment are key to the success of an organization. Experts’ work in the Feature Engineering process is one of the tasks that takes the longest when building a Machine Learning model and in which saving time becomes a differentiating factor. In this context, having a Feature Store is crucial for any organization that wants to improve its “time to market”. At Mercado Libre we are not exempt from this problem, that is why in this lightning session I will approach a solution proposal of Feature Store as well as the benefits that we have gained by implementing it in our organization.
