In this roundtable, practitioners from Intuit, CreditKarma, Depop, and OpenAI share how they use Zipline and the OSS Chronon project to solve these challenges and deploy real-time ML use cases in production.// BioGerman KrikorianGerman is a Software Engineer on the Feature Platform team at Credit Karma.
