Recommendations with Flight at Stitch Fix
As a data scientist at Stitch Fix, I faced the challenge of adapting recommendation code for real-time systems. With the absence of standardization and proper performance testing, tracing, and logging, building reliable systems was a struggle.
To tackle these problems, I created Flight – a framework that acts as a semantic bridge and integrates multiple systems within Stitch Fix. It provides modular operator classes for data scientists to develop, and offers three levels of user experience.
