How to access databricks feature store outside databricks?

We are building the feature store using databricks API. Few of the machine learning engineers are using Jupyter notebooks. Is it possible to use feature store outside databricks?

Thanks true.

I see databricks plugin in Visual Studio. Is that of any use? I am interested because if I get the things in Visual Studio I will be able to use GitCopilot there. That's amazing.

from databricks import feature_store

from databricks.feature_store import FeatureStoreClient,feature_table

we used to use them in databricks notebooks trying to replicate the same in pycharm however it doesn't seem to work . some say u can patch code using below link

@Kaniz Fatmaโ€‹ I have a question regarding accessing feature tables created in databricks via DBFS.

I see that the data has to reside in dbfs to read and run the feature store on top of it. In my environment, dbfs is locked for security reasons. Is there a workaround or another way to write and read access the feature table maybe from an azure blob container?

Hi @Uc Aโ€‹ ,

Hi @Kaniz Fatmaโ€‹  and @Jose Gonzalezโ€‹ ,

turning back to the original question, and considering that one of the main benefits of the Feature Store is the removal of the online/offline skew, how could I access to the features from a client application like a web app for instance, external to Databricks? Is there any way?

Thanks!
