Mahesh Pasupuleti

In the rapidly evolving world of e-commerce, visual search has become a game-changing technology. Poshmark, a leading fashion resale marketplace, has developed Posh Lens – an advanced visual search engine that revolutionizes how shoppers discover and purchase items.

Under the hood of Posh Lens lies Milvus, a vector database enabling efficient product search and recommendation across our vast catalog of over 150 million items. However, with such an extensive and growing dataset, maintaining high-performance search capabilities while scaling AI infrastructure presents significant challenges.

In this talk, Mahesh Pasupuleti shares:

  • The architecture and strategies to scale Milvus effectively within the Posh Lens infrastructure
  • Key considerations include optimizing vector indexing, managing data partitioning, and ensuring query efficiency amidst large-scale data growth
  • Distributed computing principles and advanced indexing techniques to handle the complexity of Poshmark’s diverse product catalog
