Feature stores often miss core job: preventing training data leakage

Feature stores are often implemented as simple caches, neglecting their core purpose of ensuring point-in-time correctness in training data. This oversight, particularly with the advent of LLM-derived features, can lead to subtle data leakage where future information influences training labels, causing models to perform poorly in production due to a mismatch between training and inference data distributions. Building robust point-in-time correctness infrastructure is an engineering investment that prevents invisible bugs, making it a difficult sell despite its critical importance for model reliability.
