The most valuable feature of Vertex AI is the Feature Store. When it comes to model training and artificial intelligence, a whole team of people was needed to do the work. It could not be done by just one person. Data engineers, machine learning engineers, and data scientists have completely different tasks and, therefore, the communication gap is inevitable. With Feature Store, you can create your features and make them centralized in the store so everyone can see them. The feature is locked and you can create multiple versions of the features. It is similar to GitLab. It has a version control function which is very practical and important for anyone who works in machine learning. I also like the monitoring feature. I give that feature a ten out of ten. It saves data scientists' lives. After deploying the model and that model runs on the cloud, you need to constantly check on it. With the monitoring feature, you can relax and wait for the notification in case something is wrong. You have time to examine what went wrong. In addition, you can define the error and pre-set the exact thing you want to monitor. Whether it's a task failure, an instant failure, too much uptime, or downtime, the monitoring feature is extremely helpful.
