Modern recommender systems scale by turning user–item interactions into graphs and training GNNs that learn embeddings; Pinterest’s pinsage runs on 17.5 billion examples, 3 billion nodes and 18 billion edges, serves millions daily, and uses six practical techniques: neighbor sampling, producer–consumer minibatches, distributed map‑reduce serving, biased random walks, importance pooling (attention), and curriculum training to handle multimodal signals, reduce memory, prioritize relevant neighbors, and meet strict latency and relevance constraints.
