Personalization Engine
JOKER • Convert client’s catalog into one common MAD Format
• Normalization of fields and metadata • Can process batch and streaming data • Major cause of chaos in the system
GORDON • Routes the product metadata to the right micro
services • Is it a new product? or update to an existing product? • Streaming data from AWS SQS
WONDER WOMAN • Not a microservice, But a tool used
to generate rules for the catalog • Rules are send to the Image Processing microservice • Works on Samples of data and not entire dataset
WATCHTOWER • Central Source of Truth for all metadata •
Backed by an RDBMS Database (Postgresql) • Input via SQS and REST API • Output via REST API
INGESTION Gordon Joker Joker Joker Wonder Woman Watchtower Next Stage
API Data Store Ingestion Image Processing Image Searcher User Event
Personalization Engine
NIGHTWING • Computer Vision and Deep Learning Models • Convert
Image to high dimensional vectors • Tag image with visual attributes • Computer Intensive
API Data Store Ingestion Image Processing Image Searcher User Event
Personalization Engine
BATMAN • Custom very fast Vector Indexer and Search Engine
• Stores everything in memory • Two sub-parts: Indexer and Searcher • Store binary information about image in DynamoDB
API Data Store Ingestion Image Processing Image Searcher User Event
Personalization Engine
SUPERMAN • User behaviour based recommendation • Multiple products like
Collaborative filtering, Cross Product recommendation • Records every user event data and stores in a data warehouse
TWO FACE • Individual User level Personalization • Shows a
different “face” to each user • Dynamic and realtime
API Data Store Ingestion Image Processing Image Searcher User Event
Personalization Engine
FLASH • Very fast data structure storage - redis instance
• User session level history, Product Availability, etc. • Fast access, but non- expirable
GCPD • “Global Cache for Products Digested” • Rough first
level of cache for the results
API Data Store Ingestion Image Processing Image Searcher User Event
Personalization Engine
ROBIN • API Gateway for all our products • Combines
data from other micro services like Batman, Two Face, Watchtower, Superman, etc and returns JSON Response

LESSONS WE LEARNT
START WITH A MONOLITH. CHIP OFF PIECES AND BUILD THE
MICROSERVICES. Lesson 0
–Melvin Conway “… organizations which design systems ... are constrained
to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations."
DEPLOY HETEROGENOUS MICROSERVICES IN A SINGLE SERVER Lesson 1
Compute Optimized Server Memory Optimized Server Nightwing Batman Robin Robin
Robin Joker Joker Joker Gordon Watch tower Watch tower Joker
IMMUTABLE MICROSERVICES Lesson 2
Constable Inspector Assistant Commissioner Commissioner
ASYNCHRONOUS IS BETTER THAN SYNCHRONOUS Lesson 3
None
NOT ALL MICROSERVICES NEED TO BE SERVERS Lesson 4
ADD REQUEST ID OR TRANSACTION ID TO DEBUG EASILY Lesson

GIVE A CHARACTER TO YOUR MICROSERVICES Lesson 6
