One really interesting blog I read today was about how Instagram built and scaled its recommendation system ⚡

They talked about how they leverage interests and engagement to build a ranking system and how they use the Two Towers approach to predict engagement events (e.g., someone liking a post) and that is used as a similarity measure.

The blog covers both high-level design and low-level details. So, if you are building a recommendation engine, or are keen on exploring it, do give it a read. if some concepts seem alien to you, apply DFS. That’s what I did :)
