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:

  1. Generates personalized recommendations based on browsing history, past purchases, and preferences
  2. Retrieves product data in parallel from multiple data sources (Snowflake, PostgreSQL, Redis)
  3. Applies business logic via policies (inventory limits, pricing tiers, promotional rules)
  4. Uses AI for intelligent suggestions (AWS Bedrock, OpenAI)
  5. Optimizes performance with caching and batch processing
  6. 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.

AI-powered recommendations3,500ms2,100ms1.6x faster
Cached recommendationsN/A2ms125x 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.


Cost Analysis

Per 1M Recommendations

Traditional Approach:

  • Infrastructure: $5,000/month (8 servers, databases, cache)
  • Development: $200K (6 months @ 2 engineers)
  • Maintenance: $15K/month (DevOps, monitoring)

AxonFlow Approach:

  • Platform fee: $15K-50K/month (based on tier)
  • Development: $40K (4 weeks @ 2 engineers)
  • Maintenance: Included in platform fee

Savings: $300K+ in year 1, 75% faster time-to-market
