I'm also curious how you went from a non-platformatized approach to adopting this platform; what were the important insights for strategizing, prioritizing, motivating teams to lift existing pipelines into the new thing? Open ended question
- inability to back-test new real-time features. People were forced to log-and-wait to create training sets for months. Chronon reduces this to hours or days.
- the difficulty of creating the lambda system (batch pipeline, streaming pipeline, index, serving endpoint) for every feature group. In chronon, you simply set a flag on your feature definition to spin up the lambda system.
