Do you mean the 'api_endpoint' in configs? You should set an web service first and use the url (something like: ...webapp.azurewebsites.net) as this 'api_endpoint', You can find some examples in our samples: https://github.com/feathr-ai/feathr/tree/main/docs/samples

@enya-yx No im planning to use an SQL server other than azure preview there is no document on connecting sql server to register the features. correct me if I'm wrong azure purview is optional if we use sql server to register the features according to your documentation?

@enya-yx can please elaborate more on this problem and how to register the features in mssql.

@mansoorsyed11 You need to setup a webapp and set some envs in its configuration so that it can connect to your sql server. Here's a doc that might be helpful: https://github.com/feathr-ai/feathr/blob/main/docs/dev_guide/build-and-push-feathr-registry-docker-image.md

Currently, feathr only supports registering features through webapp instead of connecting to the sql server directly.

@mansoorsyed11 Feathr doesn't support writing features into MSSQL database directly, a registry service needs to be deployed separately.
Please refer to https://feathr-ai.github.io/feathr/concepts/feature-registry.html for more information about the registry service.
