E-commerce Recommendations Example
Full Implementation Available to AWS Marketplace Customers Contact Sales | AWS Marketplace
Overview
Build production-ready AI-powered recommendation engines with AxonFlow. This example demonstrates advanced patterns for:
- Personalized product recommendations using customer data and AI
- Multi-source data integration (inventory, customer history, reviews)
- Real-time pricing and availability checks
- A/B testing for recommendation algorithms
- Performance optimization with caching and parallel queries
- Policy-based business rules (pricing tiers, promotions, inventory limits)
Difficulty: Intermediate Time to Complete: 20 minutes Industry: E-commerce, Retail Use Cases: Product recommendations, personalized shopping, upselling, cross-selling
What You'll Build
A production-ready recommendation engine that:
- Generates personalized recommendations based on browsing history, past purchases, and preferences
- Retrieves product data in parallel from multiple data sources (Snowflake, PostgreSQL, Redis)
- Applies business logic via policies (inventory limits, pricing tiers, promotional rules)
- Uses AI for intelligent suggestions (AWS Bedrock, OpenAI)
- Optimizes performance with caching and batch processing
- Provides A/B testing for different recommendation strategies

Key Features
1. AI-Powered Personalization
Leverage machine learning for intelligent recommendations:
- Browsing behavior analysis - Track user interests
- Purchase history patterns - Predict future needs
- Collaborative filtering - "Customers who bought X also bought Y"
- Content-based filtering - Similar product attributes
- LLM-enhanced suggestions - Natural language explanations
Full ML recommendation algorithms and implementation available to customers.
2. Multi-Source Data Integration
Query multiple systems in parallel for complete context:
// Example architecture (simplified)
const dataSources = {
productCatalog: 'Snowflake', // 10M+ products
customerData: 'PostgreSQL', // User profiles, orders
inventory: 'PostgreSQL', // Real-time stock
sessionData: 'Redis', // Active sessions
reviews: 'Snowflake', // Customer reviews
analytics: 'Snowflake' // Behavioral data
};
Complete multi-source integration patterns with 5+ connectors available to customers.
3. Business Rules Engine
Enforce complex business logic via policies:
- Pricing tiers (bronze, silver, gold, platinum)
- Promotional rules (discount codes, flash sales)
- Inventory thresholds (exclude low-stock items)
- Geographic restrictions (shipping zones)
- Customer segmentation (VIP, new, at-risk)
Full policy library with 20+ ecommerce patterns available to customers.
4. A/B Testing Framework
Test recommendation strategies in production:
- Traffic splitting - Route users to different algorithms
- Performance tracking - Measure conversion rates
- Statistical significance - Automated analysis
- Multi-variant testing - Test 3+ strategies simultaneously
Complete A/B testing framework with analytics integration available to customers.
5. Performance Optimization
Achieve sub-100ms recommendation latency:
- Connection pooling - Reuse database connections
- Redis caching - Cache frequent queries (5-10 min TTL)
- Parallel queries (MAP) - 10x faster multi-source retrieval
- Batch processing - Handle high-volume requests
Full performance optimization guide with benchmarks available to customers.
Performance Benchmarks
| Operation | Without AxonFlow | With AxonFlow | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single recommendation | 250ms | 15ms | 16x faster |
| 5 parallel queries (MAP) | 1,250ms | 45ms | 27x faster |
| AI-powered recommendations | 3,500ms | 2,100ms | 1.6x faster |
| Cached recommendations | N/A | 2ms | 125x faster |
Why faster with AxonFlow?
- Connection pooling reduces latency
- MAP executes queries in parallel (not sequential)
- Built-in caching layer
- Optimized data serialization
Full performance optimization playbook available to customers.
Production Features
Dynamic Pricing Engine
Implement real-time pricing adjustments:
// Pricing tiers (example structure)
const pricingLogic = {
bronze: { discount: 0, perks: [] },
silver: { discount: 5, perks: ['free_shipping'] },
gold: { discount: 10, perks: ['free_shipping', 'early_access'] },
platinum: { discount: 15, perks: ['free_shipping', 'early_access', 'concierge'] }
};
Full dynamic pricing implementation with seasonal adjustments available to customers.
Cross-Sell and Upsell
Maximize order value with intelligent suggestions:
- Frequently bought together - Product association rules
- Similar products - Feature-based matching
- Premium alternatives - Higher-margin upsells
- Bundle recommendations - Package deals
Complete cross-sell/upsell algorithms with revenue optimization available to customers.
Inventory-Aware Recommendations
Never recommend out-of-stock products:
- Real-time inventory checks - Sub-50ms queries
- Multi-warehouse support - Check all locations
- Low-stock alerts - Prioritize fast-moving items
- Backorder handling - Alternative suggestions
Full inventory integration patterns available to customers.
