ShareChat serves 85M monthly active users and ingests about 1M new posts daily, so feed generation combines a popularity bandit, autoencoder long‑term embeddings, LSTM+attention short‑term models and graph nets for creator/location affinity. A Bayesian mixer weights outputs (they speed convergence by exposing 100 rankings to 200 randomized user clusters). Feature stores span BigTable/BigQuery/Redis, serving millions qps; deployments run on Kubernetes TF-Serve, Dataproc/EMR and Dataflow. Cold starts, sparse signals and millisecond latency remain practical limits.
