The Swiftype Blog / Building and Architecting a Search Platform on Elasticsearch

Building and Architecting a Search Platform on Elasticsearch

In case you haven’t heard, Swiftype has recently joined forces with Elastic, the makers of popular open source products such as Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash. Launched during the Y Combinator Winter 2012 Batch by Matt Riley and Quin Hoxie, Swiftype has been an early adopter of Elasticsearch — leveraging the technology to revolutionize the way people find information across their organization and on public facing websites and applications.

Since our founding in 2012, we’ve added many popular features to our Site Search product including drag-and-drop results ranking, weighting and a robust analytics dashboard. Along our journey, we’ve been fortunate to serve customers like Lyft, Cloudflare, Twilio, AT&T, Qualcomm, Duke University, and TechCrunch. In working with these incredible organizations and thousands of others, we’ve been able to continually improve our product offerings and provide best-in-class hosted search for use cases of any scope and scale.

So how did we get here? Join us on November 29 for a live webinar and learn how Swiftype was able to scale and build a search platform with Elastic’s open source products. Swiftype founders and newest members of the Elastic team will conduct a presentation on building a robust search solution (and company) on top of the Elastic Stack.
