Fast and relevant user experiences at Azure scale

 

Consumers expect instant, rewarding experiences no matter the volume of content those experiences rely on. After all, they find what they are looking for on Google, Amazon or Netflix in no time. But all companies do not have the resources of Google, Amazon and Netflix, and  building those search and discovery experiences at ultra large scale is hard.

Until now, companies with the world’s largest websites or applications were forced to build out their own search solution and manage infrastructure around the world.

Introducing Algolia on Azure

We believe that matching your users intent with the right content is even more critical among very large collections of content. That’s the point of Algolia on Azure.

Algolia on Azure combines the power and scalability of Microsoft Azure’s highest performing Virtual Machines, the reliability of Microsoft Azure global infrastructure, and Algolia’s search and discovery engine speed and relevance so you can deliver your users the experience they expect over terabytes of content.

Scalable and robust do not mean rough. Algolia on Azure comes with the full capabilities of Algolia, as a service:

  • Fully-managed by Algolia: Algolia deployable on-demand and ready to operate in minutes, we take care of everything from scaling to security, so you can focus on building the best experience and optimizing relevance to serve both the business and the end-user.
  • Unprecedented control and insight into the business: Algolia on Azure comes with our extensive suite of business tools, including experimentation, merchandising, personalization and analytics, to control and optimize digital user experiences

Several of our customers are already leveraging the scalability of Algolia on Azure, including Depop. Depop is a pioneering global marketplace connecting together 10M+ sellers and buyers across the world over dozens of millions of designer clothes, vintage items and pieces of arts.

“We chose Algolia on Microsoft Azure as it is one of the only search and discovery solutions that is scalable and flexible enough to meet our constantly changing business and customer needs and provide access to our 25.6 million products. We know Algolia on Azure will seamlessly grow with us and our ever-growing community, while we focus on continually innovating our platform.” — Faris Aziz, Product Manager at Depop

Algolia on Azure is the core element of an extensive partnership between Algolia and Microsoft.
