What this PR does / why we need it:

Adds blog post documenting Feast's dbt integration to infra/website/docs/blog/feast-dbt-integration.md, written from the perspective of dbt users who want to leverage their existing models for production AI.

Content structure:

  • Opens by addressing dbt users who've invested in building quality models
  • Problem space: dbt models getting reimplemented for AI instead of being reused directly
  • Solution: auto-importing existing dbt models as Feast FeatureViews via manifest.json
  • Practical example: ride-sharing driver features showing how to take existing dbt models to production
  • Step-by-step tutorial emphasizing no changes to dbt workflow required
  • Advanced patterns: multiple entities, Snowflake/file sources, customization options
  • Production integration: CI/CD automation, tagging conventions, documentation practices
  • Real-world impact from dbt users' perspective

Narrative approach:
The blog post speaks directly to dbt users, emphasizing that their existing models are already AI-ready and can go to production without rewriting. All examples frame steps as using "existing" models rather than creating new ones, positioning Feast as respecting dbt as the single source of truth. Uses AI terminology consistently throughout (e.g., "AI features", "AI team", "AI predictions", "AI deployment").

Misc

Blog post validated with Astro build system. Uses existing hero image asset. Authored by Francisco Javier Arceo and Yassin Nouh.

# Streamlining ML Feature Engineering with Feast and dbt

If you're building machine learning models in production, you've likely faced the challenge of managing features consistently across training and serving environments. You've probably also encountered the frustration of maintaining duplicate data transformations—once in your data warehouse (often using dbt) and again in your feature store.

@copilot We should reframe this from the lens of a user of DBT that loves their models and wants to easily get some dbt model into production.

Reframed the entire blog post from a dbt user's perspective. The post now:

  • Opens by speaking directly to dbt users who've invested in their models
  • Emphasizes that existing dbt models are already ML-ready and don't need rewriting
  • Frames steps as using "existing" models rather than creating new ones
  • Adds a "What Just Happened?" section to highlight the value of going from dbt to production
  • Updates the conclusion to be action-oriented for dbt users

The narrative now centers on dbt users who love their models and want to easily get them into production for ML without duplication. ✨

@copilot please replace instances of ML/machine learning with AI.

Replaced all instances of ML/machine learning with AI throughout the blog post. Changes include:

  • Title: "Streamlining AI Feature Engineering with Feast and dbt"
  • Description: "accelerate AI development"
  • All references: AI team, AI features, AI predictions, AI deployment, AI expertise
  • Section headings updated to use AI terminology

The blog post now consistently uses AI terminology while maintaining all technical content and the dbt-user-centric perspective.
