Sub-100ms search, without a team to maintain it
A managed search setup that dropped latency below 100ms and took maintenance off the team's plate.
- Sub-100ms
- Search latency
- Tuned ranking
- Relevance
- Fully managed
- Maintenance
// the challenge
The client's self-hosted search was slow and required ongoing maintenance effort that pulled the team away from product work.
// our approach
- Evaluated self-hosted (Elasticsearch/OpenSearch) vs managed (Algolia) trade-offs against the client's traffic and team size.
- Migrated indices and search UX to Algolia with a phased rollout.
- Tuned ranking rules, synonyms, and faceting for the client's catalog.
- Automated index updates as part of the existing CI/CD pipeline.
// the outcome
Search response times dropped to sub-100ms with far less operational burden, freeing the team to focus on product instead of search infra.
