Netflix's technology blog has published a piece titled MAPS, describing work on personalizing the visual assets shown across its discovery surface.
Only a single feed has surfaced this and the article body is not available, so the note is necessarily general. What the headline and truncated summary do establish is that Netflix is publicly documenting an internal system named MAPS that operates at scale, which is itself a signal of how far the company is willing to go in externalizing details of its personalization stack.
