Feathr's Origin Story
- David Stein built Feathr at LinkedIn starting around 2015/2016, originally under a different name.
- It arose from the challenge of managing complex feature data preparation workflows across teams and evolving ML applications.
Clean Concepts
- Building Feathr over six years taught valuable lessons about simplifying complex systems for users.
- Clean concepts and user-centric design are crucial, reducing the need for later corrections.
Decoupling Features from Code
- Feathr decouples features from code, allowing engineers to reason about and change them independently.
- This standardization enables consistent understanding and usage across the organization.
