+# Feast Development Guide
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+```bash
+# Install development dependencies (uses uv pip sync with pinned requirements)
+make install-python-dependencies-dev
+
+# Install minimal dependencies
+make install-python-dependencies-minimal
+
+# Install pre-commit hooks (runs formatters and linters on commit)
+make install-precommit
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Unit Tests
+```bash
+# Run all unit tests
+make test-python-unit
+
+# Run a specific test file
+python -m pytest sdk/python/tests/unit/test_unit_feature_store.py -v
+
+# Run a specific test by name
+python -m pytest sdk/python/tests/unit/test_unit_feature_store.py -k "test_apply" -v
+
+# Run fast unit tests only (no external dependencies)
+make test-python-unit-fast
+```
+
+### Integration Tests (local)
+```bash
+# Run integration tests in local dev mode
+make test-python-integration-local
+```
+
+## Linting and Formatting
+
+```bash
+# Format Python code
+make format-python
+
+# Lint Python code
+make lint-python
+
+# Run all precommit checks (format + lint)
+make precommit-check
+
+# Type checking
+cd sdk/python && python -m mypy feast
+```
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Use type hints on all function signatures
+- Use `from __future__ import annotations` at the top of new files
+- Follow existing patterns in the module you are modifying
+- PR titles must follow semantic conventions: `feat:`, `fix:`, `ci:`, `chore:`, `docs:`
+- Add a GitHub label to PRs (e.g. `kind/bug`, `kind/feature`, `kind/housekeeping`)
+- Sign off commits with `git commit -s` (DCO requirement)
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+sdk/python/feast/          # Main Python SDK
+  cli/cli.py               # CLI entry point (feast apply, feast materialize, etc.)
+  feature_store.py         # FeatureStore class - core orchestration
+  repo_config.py           # feature_store.yaml configuration parsing
+  repo_operations.py       # feast apply / feast teardown logic
+  infra/                   # Online/offline store implementations
+    online_stores/         # Redis, DynamoDB, SQLite, etc.
+    offline_stores/        # BigQuery, Snowflake, File, etc.
+  transformation/          # On-demand and streaming transformations
+protos/feast/              # Protobuf definitions
+sdk/python/tests/          # Test suite
+  unit/                    # Fast, no external deps
+  integration/             # Requires infrastructure

+## Key Abstractions
+
+- **FeatureStore** (`feature_store.py`): Entry point for all operations
+- **FeatureView**: Defines a set of features from a data source
+- **OnDemandFeatureView**: Computed features using request-time transformations
+- **Entity**: Join key definition (e.g. driver_id, customer_id)
+- **DataSource**: Where raw data lives (BigQuery, files, Snowflake, etc.)
+- **OnlineStore**: Low-latency feature serving (Redis, DynamoDB, SQLite)
+- **OfflineStore**: Historical feature retrieval (BigQuery, Snowflake, file)
