Overview

Feature stores often hold derived customer, behavioral, operational, or business-sensitive data. Online feature data should have retention configured so stale training and inference data does not accumulate indefinitely.

Remediation guidance

Remediation

Configure online feature-store retention based on the model use case and data classification. Align retention with privacy, audit, and retraining needs.

  1. Classify the feature data.
  2. Set a retention period for online storage.
  3. Validate backup, replay, and retraining requirements before deleting historical data.
