Doubling down on data warehouses: Most modern data teams are doubling down on data warehouses like BigQuery, Snowflake, and Redshift. Feast doubles down on these big data technologies as the primary interfaces through which it launches batch operations (like training dataset generation). This reduces the development burden on Feast contributors (since they only need to reason about SQL), provides users with a more responsive experience, avoids moving data from the warehouse (to compute joins using Spark), and provides a more serverless and scalable experience to users.
