Declarative Feature Engineering

Declarative Feature Engineering is a Databricks ai / ml capability, introduced March 2026.

APIs to declaratively define and compute time-windowed aggregation features in Unity Catalog, materialize them to Delta or Lakebase, and serve them to online model serving.

  • You declare a time-windowed aggregation once and it computes the feature for you - materializing to Delta or Lakebase and wiring into online model serving - the feature-engineering echo of the declarative-pipelines idea.
  • It launched in Beta in March 2026, initially only in the AWS us-east-1 and us-west-2 regions.

Limitations: Beta, initially available only in the AWS us-east-1 and us-west-2 regions; features are defined in Unity Catalog.
