Client Challenges:
"The legacy recommendation system based on rule engine had a 24-hour delay in user profile updates, with personalized recommendation accuracy below 15%. This resulted in a 68% bounce rate on the homepage."

2. Key Technical Breakthroughs
Real-time Processing Optimization:
Flink-based stream processing reduced user profile update latency from 24 hours to 10 seconds.
Algorithm Upgrade:
Replaced traditional collaborative filtering with DeepFM model, improving AUC from 0.68 to 0.89.
1. Core Metrics Improvement
| Metric | Before Optimization | After Optimization | Improvement |
|---|
| Recommendation Accuracy | 15% | 48% | +220% |
| Homepage Conversion Rate | 2.3% | 3.1% | +35% |
| Average Session Duration | 58 seconds | 89 seconds | +53% |
2. Client Testimonial
"The new recommendation system increased GMV by 28% within 3 months of launch. The technical team completed the reengineering in 4 months instead of the planned 6, with the real-time processing module exceeding stability expectations."
