Look inside

As a consultant for Messflix Inc., a movie and TV-show streaming platform, you’ll investigate and discover why Meshflix’s recommender system breaks. You’ll brainstorm options for changes that don’t break the system, explore their pros and cons, and choose and implement one of your options. Then you’ll create an internal versioning strategy to support all the great product changes Messflix has planned for the future.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
