Marketplace Software Elasticsearch Technology

Elasticsearch in brief Q&A What is Elasticsearch? Elasticsearch is a technology used by major marketplaces worldwide and other large-scale data workloads. It helps find requested data quickly when searching across millions of records. Can my site’s data live only in Elasticsearch? No. Elasticsearch is not meant as the primary data store. Your site data remains in the database. Like all databases, beyond a certain data volume and concurrent query load, raw database response times can drop. Where does data go into Elasticsearch from, and how? Our stack uses MySQL. Data is collected from MySQL and fed into Elasticsearch. This is not a blind copy: when indexing, data must be structured, grouped, and organized so Elasticsearch can return the right answers to the queries you expect. Is a one-time load into Elasticsearch enough? No. Because products on your site keep changing, data must be refreshed into Elasticsearch on a schedule. Can Elasticsearch run on shared hosting? No. Syncing products into Elasticsearch and serving queries from it is CP
U- and RAM-intensive. Your site should run on a dedicated server with Elasticsearch installed. At what product count should I use Elasticsearch? We recommend Elasticsearch once your on-site product count exceeds about 150,000, to help keep performance stable. Which queries on my site will use Elasticsearch? When the relevant queries in your marketplace stack are wired to Elasticsearch, response times improve for:

• Site search
• Left-hand filters after a search
• Category browsing
• Filters after opening a category
• Sorting products on category pages (price, alphabetical, etc.)
• Product listing speed on store pages
• In-store product search speed
• Category clicks inside a store
• Sorting inside a store (price, alphabetical, etc.)

Rolling out Elasticsearch on your site typically takes around 30 days. You can review features we built on the demo site at https://elastic.devpazaryeri.com/. Annual technical support for the Elasticsearch service is 75,000 TRY + VAT. For more detail, speak with our software consultants.
