Engineering teams

Build retrieval and agentic solutions that works as hard as you do

Deploy fast, scalable AI-powered search anywhere with Algolia's API-first architecture—built to give your team precision, control, and speed.

Speed and scalability built in

Process millions of queries a second with sub-20ms response times, supported by a globally distributed infrastructure engineered for reliability at scale.

Flexible customization

Shape search to your exact needs. Fine-tune relevance, layer in custom business logic, and override defaults with powerful APIs that give you complete control.

Seamless integration

Work with the tools and frameworks you already know. Algolia plugs cleanly into your stack—no need to reinvent your workflows to deliver world-class search.

Built by engineers, for engineers

Spend less time wrestling with relevance and more time building impactful features.

API-first

Algolia is fully API-driven, giving engineers programmatic control over indexing, search configuration, and UI behavior. Deploy fast, flexible search interfaces that integrate seamlessly with your architecture—no fixed frontend or rigid templates required.

Flexible data modeling

Structure records exactly how your application needs—whether handling polymorphic record types, nested categories, or dynamic metadata. Algolia supports complex object models and lets you fine-tune the contribution of each attribute to search relevance, giving teams precision at every layer.

AI to the core

Algolia fuses search and AI into a single, powerful experience. Traditional keyword search ensures precision, while vector-based relevance understands context, nuance, and user intent. Beyond the index, Algolia also adapts results to the individual to personalize discovery based on who is searching and how they engage. Add dynamic re-ranking on top, and every result set continuously evolves to further balance performance, precision, and personalization at scale.

Multi-language SDKs

Integrate search seamlessly into your existing tech stack. Algolia provides SDKs for JavaScript, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Swift, and more—letting engineers build with the languages and conventions they already know.

Search performance insights

Monitor and diagnose query latency, zero-result rates, and usage anomalies with live dashboards and historical data. Set alerts for drops in uptime or throughput so you can act before they impact users.

Developer-first UI components

Accelerate frontend development with InstantSearch and Autocomplete libraries for React, Vue, Angular, and plain JavaScript. Fully customizable and optimized for accessibility and performance, these components give engineers control over rendering while reducing build time.

Works seamlessly with your tech stack

Whether you’re deploying on Vercel, storing data in MongoDB, or managing commerce through Shopify or Salesforce, Algolia connects seamlessly through SDKs, plugins, and RESTful APIs.
