Neural Commerce
AI-powered product recommendation engine processing 10M+ daily predictions with 99.9% uptime.
The Problem
- 01Processing 10M+ predictions daily with sub-20ms latency
- 02Handling cold-start problem for new users
- 03Maintaining model accuracy across diverse product catalogs
Our Approach
- Implemented distributed inference with auto-scaling pods
- Developed hybrid collaborative-content filtering approach
- Created continuous learning pipeline with A/B testing framework
#Neural Commerce
A sophisticated machine learning platform that analyzes user behavior patterns to deliver hyper-personalized product recommendations. The system processes millions of data points in real-time, learning and adapting to changing consumer preferences.
##The Challenge
Our client, a major e-commerce platform, was struggling with generic product recommendations that failed to capture individual user preferences. Their existing rule-based system resulted in low click-through rates and missed revenue opportunities.
##Our Approach
###Phase 1: Data Architecture
We designed a real-time data pipeline capable of ingesting and processing user events at scale:
1# Event processing pipeline2async def process_user_event(event: UserEvent):3 # Extract features4 features = await feature_extractor.extract(event)56 # Update user profile7 await profile_service.update(event.user_id, features)89 # Trigger real-time recommendations10 await recommendation_service.refresh(event.user_id)
###Phase 2: Model Development
We developed a hybrid recommendation model combining:
- Collaborative Filtering: User-user and item-item similarities
- Content-Based Filtering: Product attribute matching
- Deep Learning: Neural networks for complex pattern recognition
###Phase 3: Infrastructure
Deployed on Kubernetes with auto-scaling capabilities:
| Component | Replicas | Resources |
|---|---|---|
| Inference API | 10-50 | 4 CPU, 8GB RAM |
| Feature Store | 3 | 8 CPU, 32GB RAM |
| Model Server | 5-20 | GPU enabled |
##Results
After 3 months in production:
- 35% increase in click-through rate
- 28% increase in average order value
- 94% prediction accuracy
- 12ms average response time
##Technical Highlights
- Custom TensorFlow serving with batched inference
- Redis-based feature store for sub-millisecond lookups
- A/B testing framework for continuous model improvement
- Comprehensive monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana
