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.
