I’ve not kept up with the recent developments in this field - is Vowpal Wabbit widely used now? Any competitors? Or do people build their own in-house systems?

Thanks

Vowpal Wabbit is used but many build something in-house into existing rule-based or supervised ml systems

In green fields deployments, Azure personalizer may be a nice place to start looking.
