The intention of this page is to give a comprehensive and up to date overview over our current system (a task that is bound to fail… Everybody feel free to contribute).
====== Rough overview ======
===== Fashion Recommendations =====
* Customer sends us a feed with product information (mandatory fields are:
* a unique id that is used to query recommendations,
* a category to segment the product catalog,
* a link to an image, that depicts the product)
* We parse the feed to extract optional meta data and process the relevant images (feed import and enrichment)
* The data from the previous step has to be stored and pushed to the frontends
* The frontends process queries from our customers and return recommendations
* each request is sent to a billing server, where it is further processed for statistics and “long term” storage
===== Visualytics (Backend for Fashion Recommendations) =====
* A web based GUI (written in PHP) allows our customers to view some details and make some modifications to some settings
* the GUI communicates with a web service (written in python+flask) to retrieve information and to make changes to the system
