The top Pinterest Engineering blog posts of 2019

In 2019, Pinterest engineers built and scaled for more than 300 million people around the world, brought a more inclusive search to mobile, and made strides in shopping and computer vision by automating Shop the Look, improving Lens camera search and identifying more than 2.5 billion objects across home and fashion Pins. In addition to infrastructure and operations improvements and making mobile faster and more reliable, the team welcomed SVP of Engineering Jeremy King, introduced new home feed controls, started testing Complete the Look, and open sourced technologies.
