Hopsworks is an AI Lakehouse platform that unifies feature engineering, real-time ML, and production AI for building and deploying AI systems.

Hopsworks provides a unified platform for the entire machine learning lifecycle, from feature engineering to real-time model deployment and monitoring. It integrates a Feature Store for sub-millisecond data retrieval and reuse, an AI Lakehouse for working with open data formats like Iceberg, Delta, and Hudi, and an MLOps Platform for experiment tracking, model registry, and deployment pipelines. The platform is designed for real-time AI, offering sub-millisecond latency with its RonDB key-value store and supporting GPU management for LLMs and other ML models. It emphasizes modularity and scalability, allowing users to work with various frameworks like Spark, Flink, Pandas, and DuckDB, and scale from small projects to petabytes of data. Hopsworks also supports Sovereign AI deployments, including air-gapped, on-premises, and hybrid environments, providing full control over data and AI operations.
