The problem a feature store solves
Picture a fraud model. In training, a data scientist computes avg_txn_amount_7d in a notebook with pandas over the warehouse. In production, a backend engineer rewrites that same logic in Java against a live database. Six weeks later accuracy drops and nobody knows why. The two implementations disagree on a time
