SageMaker Feature Store Adds 25-Record Batch Writes and a Record-Discovery API

The new APIs replace one-record write loops and an identifier-discovery blind spot, while leaving teams to handle partial failures and non-snapshot pagination themselves. Amazon SageMaker Feature Store now has answers to two stubborn operational problems: writing features one record at a time and finding records when their identifiers are missing. Each entry can target the online store, the offline store, or both.
