"United Airlines, one of the largest airlines globally, relies on a centralized machine learning platform with a feature store at its core. The airline utilizes machine learning models to deliver personalized experiences to customers. With a significant customer base generating millions of daily requests and strict service level agreement requirements for quick response times, selecting the right feature store was crucial. United Airlines selected ElastiCache as its online feature store for serving real-time traffic due to its ability to provide ultra-low latency for millions of customers.
Since features need to be constantly available in-memory and have the latest values for accurate predictions by the ML models, they are stored in a feature store. ElastiCache verifies that these features are updated as frequently as possible, enabling accurate predictions. An advantage of using ElastiCache is its support for global data stores, allowing the ML model to serve traffic from across multiple AWS Regions. This capability provides a robust and fail-safe plan to serve customers and offer personalized recommendations, such as selecting the right destination or finding the appropriate products during the check-in process. We recommend ElastiCache for real-time traffic scenarios where low latency is essential for serving data efficiently."
