 ### Step 6: Ingest batch features into your online store

+We now serialize the latest values of features since the beginning of time to prepare for serving. Note, `materialize_incremental` serializes all new features since the last `materialize` call, or since the time provided minus the `ttl` timedelta. In this case, this will be `CURRENT_TIME - 1 day` (`ttl` was set on the `FeatureView` instances in [feature_repo/feature_repo/example_repo.py](feature_repo/feature_repo/example_repo.py)).
