summary

A product-widget integration for recipe sites scaled to handle a sudden 6 million views against a ~60 million‑product Solr index and 330k recipe URLs. It uses RAKE inside Solr for single‑digit‑millisecond keyword extraction and context‑enriched query boosting; the team replaced a manual URL‑mapping MVP, migrated the API to a partner LPA and added caching to stabilize throughput, raising conversion on the large partner above 2%.
