Builing Product Recommendations Using Elixir GenStage

Builing Product Recommendations Using Elixir GenStage

I’ve wanted to build something using Flow since José Valim introduced the concepts behind it in his Elixir Conf 2016 keynote. I initially thought of building a product recommendation tool using crowdsourced reviews. As it would include both IO intensive stages, such as HTTP requests, and CPU intensive stages, like sentiment analysis. A good candidate for parallel processing and suitable for using Flow.

I’m still pretty new to Elixir but can see there’s a lot of great stuff in this project to learn from.
