Algolia makes its beautiful search API faster with a focus on growth and performance

Since 2012, Algolia has been providing an online, customer-focused, dev-centric hosted search API dedicated to changing the way people think about search. Today, with more than 1200 paying customers in over 100 countries, the company seeks to help users find things easier.

The nature of Algolia's search API demands a distributed infrastructure in order to provide low response times to millions of users located throughout the globe. To meet booming customer demand in Brazil, Algolia needed to assume greater control, scale and speed via dedicated solutions.

Getting better products to market faster

Right now, Algolia is seeing greater demand for its services, which requires new environments to be able to deliver new features for those markets. This surge in interest means that Algolia must deliver new features faster in each country, and for each environment.
