Amarendra Kumar and Kulbhushan Pachauri presented on accelerating recommendations at scale using Redis. They discussed serving over 30 million consumers across 17 diverse markets with recommendations across over 300,000 movies and videos. Without Redis, their architecture struggled with the 36+ billion minutes of content consumed each month and meeting low recommendation latency SLAs. By caching content, consumer information, and configurations in Redis, they were able to improve performance and use it cost effectively to provide quick access for slower databases.
