In the world of machine learning, data clean-up and feature engineering are incredibly time-consuming. And with different people, teams and roles working on different parts of the pipeline, it’s likely that there’s duplication of effort happening somewhere along the way.
SageMaker Feature Store helps tackle that problem by providing a central place to store, share and update features.
In this hands-on tutorial, I give a brief overview of what SageMaker Feature Store is, and why you might use it. Then we launch SageMaker Studio, upload a Jupyter Notebook, and dive into the code. We’ll import data from a UCI auto dataset and do some simple transformations on it. Then using the SageMaker Studio UI, as well as code, we’ll see how to create a Feature Group. Finally, we’ll ingest data, and see how to consume it from an online and offline store.
