Chapter 1.3 Constraints

  • Existing System: Integrate recommendations with the existing BigKart ecommerce backend without replacing core systems.
  • Infrastructure: Operate within available infrastructure and compute budgets, with additional resources justified by measurable business value.
  • Data: Recommendation quality depends on the availability, volume, quality, and granularity of existing user, product, and interaction data.
  • Cold Start: Provide fallback recommendations when historical customer or product behavior is unavailable.
  • Operational Independence: Ensure recommendation failures do not impact core ecommerce operations.
  • Scope: The initial release focuses exclusively on product recommendations, excluding search ranking, dynamic pricing, and advertising optimization.
