Look inside
Help Sneakers to the Max’s customers find the perfect sneakers! As a software engineer at the e-commerce company, your task is to improve its search engine—and hopefully sales—by fine-tuning the order of search results. You’ll adjust the index mapping to import data about sneaker release dates, popularity, and in-stock status. Then, you’ll write extensions to the Elasticsearch queries that boost recent and popular results, forcing out-of-stock sneakers lower. Finally, you’ll use everything you learned to return the most relevant sneakers using a judgment list provided by the product managers. When you’re finished, you’ll have the skills to enhance Elasticsearch queries, while Sneakers to the Max’s customers will easily find the perfect pair.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
