Summary 

Welcome to the Cache-it, a podcast delivering valuable insights that you cache in your memory. Host Khawaja Shams interviews Yao Yue, the CEO and co-founder of IOP Systems about using lessons learned from caching to build machine learning feature stores. Yao has a background in working at Twitter, where she focused on distributed caching and performance engineering. She shares her experience dealing with high-profile incidents at Twitter, where caching played a crucial role in optimized Twitter’s performance. 

Yao explains the concept of ML feature stores, which is a place to discover, store, and serve features for machine learning training and inference. The conversation also dives deep into the challenges of performance engineering at scale and the importance of controlling tail latencies.
