Handling product categorization in e-commerce can be quite the task, especially when nested categories and overlapping products make efficient retrieval without duplicates a real challenge. The method I found has a major impact on performance: setting up proper data storage, separating data for reading and modification, using relational and NoSQL databases, and applying graph theory to handle complex category nesting. The step-by-step guide shows how to sort out efficient data storage, use transitive closure for advanced indexing, build a service to maintain and update the graph, and take advantage of database indexing to avoid unnecessary sorting in RAM.
