What is Tecton?
Tecton helps teams build and run AI applications in production. It's a platform that makes it easy to prepare the data your AI models need, and then serve that data reliably to your applications.
Think of Tecton as a bridge between your raw data and your AI models. It helps you:
- Transform raw data into useful signals (called features and embeddings) that your AI models can learn from.
- Serve those features and embeddings to your models quickly and reliably when they need to make predictions.
- Keep your training data and production data consistent, so your models perform well in the real world.
Problems Tecton solves​
When teams build AI applications, they often face common challenges:
- Data preparation takes too long and is error-prone
- Getting fresh data to models in production is complex and slow
- Training data doesn't match production data, leading to poor model performance
- Managing access controls, viewing lineage, and reusing features and embeddings becomes increasingly complex with growing teams
Why ML teams love Tecton​
Tecton excels at the hard technical problems that ML teams face when deploying models to production:
- Feature Serving: Highly performant online feature serving at scale. Retrieve features, embeddings, and prompts in real-time at <5 ms at 100K requests per second.
- Time Window Aggregations: Calculate features over any time window (minutes to years) with millisecond latency, even at massive scale. Want to compute "average transaction amount over the last 7 days" for millions of users? Tecton handles this seamlessly.
- Real-time and Streaming Feature Computation: Write feature logic once and Tecton executes it consistently both in real-time for predictions and offline for training. No more duplicate logic between training and serving.
- Managed Infrastructure: Focus on building features, not infrastructure. Tecton handles all the complex data infrastructure needed for feature computation and serving - from stream processing to online stores to monitoring. Built-in optimizations like autoscaling and managed caching ensure cost-effective performance without the operational overhead.
- Historical Backfills: Need to generate historical feature values for a new feature? Tecton automatically handles point-in-time correct backfills, saving you from writing complex data processing logic.
- Training Data Generation: Automatically generate training datasets that perfectly match your production features, eliminating the common problem of training-serving skew.
Who uses Tecton?​
Companies like Atlassian, Block, and Plaid use Tecton to power their AI applications. Whether you're building a fraud or risk detection system, a recommendation engine, or a chatbot, Tecton helps you move from prototype to production faster and more reliably.
