+# Feast Quickstart
+If you haven't already, check out the quickstart guide on Feast's website (http://docs.feast.dev/quickstart), which 
+uses this repo. A quick view of what's in this repository's `feature_repo/` directory:
+
+* `data/` contains raw demo parquet data
+* `feature_repo/example_repo.py` contains demo feature definitions
+* `feature_repo/feature_store.yaml` contains a demo setup configuring where data sources are
+* `feature_repo/test_workflow.py` showcases how to run all key Feast commands, including defining, retrieving, and pushing features. 
+
+You can run the overall workflow with `python test_workflow.py`.
+
+## To move from this into a more production ready workflow:
+> See more details in [Running Feast in production](https://docs.feast.dev/how-to-guides/running-feast-in-production)
+
+1. First: you should start with a different Feast template, which delegates to a more scalable offline store. 
+   - For example, running `feast init -t gcp`
+   or `feast init -t aws` or `feast init -t snowflake`. 
+   - You can see your options if you run `feast init --help`.
+2. `feature_store.yaml` points to a local file as a registry. You'll want to setup a remote file (e.g. in S3/GCS) or a 
+SQL registry. See [registry docs](https://docs.feast.dev/getting-started/concepts/registry) for more details. 
+3. This example uses a file [offline store](https://docs.feast.dev/getting-started/components/offline-store) 
+   to generate training data. It does not scale. We recommend instead using a data warehouse such as BigQuery, 
+   Snowflake, Redshift. There is experimental support for Spark as well.
+4. Setup CI/CD + dev vs staging vs prod environments to automatically update the registry as you change Feast feature definitions. See [docs](https://docs.feast.dev/how-to-guides/running-feast-in-production#1.-automatically-deploying-changes-to-your-feature-definitions).
+5. (optional) Regularly scheduled materialization to power low latency feature retrieval (e.g. via Airflow). See [Batch data ingestion](https://docs.feast.dev/getting-started/concepts/data-ingestion#batch-data-ingestion)
+for more details.
+6. (optional) Deploy feature server instances with `feast serve` to expose endpoints to retrieve online features.
+   - See [Python feature server](https://docs.feast.dev/reference/feature-servers/python-feature-server) for details.
+   - Use cases can also directly call the Feast client to fetch features as per [Feature retrieval](https://docs.feast.dev/getting-started/concepts/feature-retrieval)
