Feature views
Declarative features with windowed aggregations, materialised on demand instead of hand-built tables.
Why it is worth watching
Databricks now points here first for new feature work.
What Public Preview promises
Open to everyone and supported for production use, though it can still change. On by default, and an admin can turn it off.
| Who can use it | Everyone |
|---|---|
| Production use | Yes |
| Support | The support team |
| On by default | Yes, with an opt-out |
The definitions are Databricks' own, on its release types page. The label on this page is the one the feature's documentation states, last checked on 13 Sept 2026.
Where to read more
We wrote it up: Feature Views — Declarative features, defined as a source plus an aggregation over a time window, registered in Unity Catalog and materialised by managed pipelines rather than by a table you build yourself. That page carries the Public Preview label while this entry does.
