Real-Time ML Pipelines: Feature Chaining with Chronon
Talk

Modern ML applications demand features computed in near real-time with sub-100ms latencies. This talk dives into Chronon, an OSS feature platform bridging streaming data infrastructure and production ML. Using a two-tower search pipeline example, we'll show how we can chain embeddings with tabular features while minimizing hot-path computation.
