About Zapyan
Zapyan is an AI-powered recommendation engine built for Shopify merchants, helping eCommerce stores deliver personalized product recommendations at scale. The platform needed to support high-volume traffic, Shopify subscription events, and continuous recommendation workflows without downtime.
Unlike a prototype recommendation system, Zapyan was built for production scale, serving 50,000+ Shopify stores and processing millions of daily recommendation requests through a fully serverless AWS architecture.

Key Challenges
Building Zapyan required moving beyond a basic AI prototype into a production-scale recommendation system that could handle Shopify traffic, subscription events, cold starts, and millions of daily inference requests.
Handling millions of daily requests
The platform had to process high-volume recommendation traffic across thousands of stores without downtime or performance drops.

Serverless endpoints needed optimization so recommendation APIs could respond faster during traffic spikes and active-store usage.
Managing Shopify subscription events
The system needed reliable automation for Shopify subscription lifecycle events, custom events, and store-level workflows.
Scaling AI inference reliably
The AI recommendation layer had to run continuously while staying cost-efficient, responsive, and production-ready.
