Description

The PostgreSQL offline store provides support for reading .

Entity dataframes can be provided as a SQL query or can be provided as a Pandas dataframe. A Pandas dataframes will be uploaded to Postgres as a table in order to complete join operations.

Disclaimer

The PostgreSQL offline store does not achieve full test coverage. Please do not assume complete stability.

Getting started

In order to use this offline store, you'll need to run pip install 'feast[postgres]'. You can get started by then running feast init -t postgres.

Example

feature_store.yaml
