Tecton, a machine learning (ML) “feature platform” company founded by the creators of Uber’s Michelangelo ML platform, today announced version 0.6 of its product. The update allows users to “build production-ready features directly in their notebooks, and deploy them to production in a matter of minutes,” said https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaeldelbalso/, co-founder and CEO of Tecton. I spoke to Del Balso in a Zoom call to find out what, exactly, an ML feature platform is — and what it’s typically used for inside enterprise companies.

In fact, Del Balso and his Tecton co-founder Kevin Stumpf (CTO) came up with the idea for a “feature platform” while they were working at Uber.

They soon realized that a feature platform could be used in any ML workloads which involved what Del Balso called “real-time production machine learning.”
