Demo uses MovieLens 20M (28,000 movies, 138,000 users, 20M interactions) to show Amazon Personalize trained from CSVs in S3 and served via GetPersonalizedRanking with real‑time PutEvents feedback. Pulselive injects a Lambda proxy behind CloudFront + API Gateway, logs A/B test data to DynamoDB, and reports a sustained 20% uplift in video views over three weeks against control (goal was 10% significance). Features demonstrated include cold start handling, item exploration, and use of GetPersonalizedRanking for next‑watch recommendations.
