Why data scientists choose Chalk

product section resource

Data Scientists move quickly from hypothesis to production. With Chalk they:

  • Get observability into the features they serve
  • Build training datasets with lineage
  • Trust that training and production always stay in sync

By moving our feature pipelines to Chalk, Data Science and Engineering now work side-by-side throughout model development. What used to be lengthy, error-prone handoffs are gone. Our entire search ranking stack runs on Chalk, serving features for inference in under 50ms, and we’re extending it to all of our models, including real‑time personalization.

Point-in-time correctness

product section resource

Training data should reflect what your application would have known at the time. Chalk guarantees this with point-in-time lookups:

  • Avoid leakage by using only values available at the correct historical moment
  • Generate reproducible datasets with complete lineage
  • Backtest models with confidence, knowing inputs match production

Chalk integrates directly with the tools data scientists use every day, enabling them to explore, iterate, and ship models without leaving their notebook.

  • Iterate on features and model training directly in your notebook
  • Deploy, backfill, and monitor datasets for training pipelines
  • Experiment and define new features independently while Chalk handles orchestration
