Chalk for Data Engineers

Chalk unifies your data schema to compute and serve features defined in Python consistently across batch, training, and real time.

Why data engineers choose Chalk

Eliminate manual pipelines

Chalk automatically builds and executes DAGs for computing your queries, removing custom orchestration

Unified feature catalog

Ensure consistent feature definitions across backfills, training sets, and real-time inference from a single source of truth

Simplify temporal aggregations

Define rolling windows, decays, and normalized features directly in Python

Serve in real time without extra systems

Low-latency APIs without Kafka, Flink, or custom streaming stacks

Generate reproducible training data

Create point-in-time-correct datasets with full lineage and versioning

Define once, use everywhere

    n_addresses_30d: Quote.owner.n_addresses["30d"],
    n_addresses_1yr: Quote.owner.n_addresses["365d"],
) -> Quote.is_risky:
    return (
        n_addresses_30d > 1 or n_addresses_1yr > 5
    ) and owner_owned_vehicles_count > 2

Chalk isn’t just a feature store. It’s an execution graph for your features. At request time, Chalk slices the graph and computes only what’s needed, from the freshest data available.

Instead of relying on stored data to stay in sync, we compute directly from the source. Chalk makes that both precise and reliable.
