What are the main benefits of using Elasticsearch for e-commerce?
Elasticsearch delivers lightning-fast product discovery, flexible relevance tuning, powerful filtering, and the ability to handle millions of products with low latency, making it ideal for large catalogs and high-traffic online stores.
Who is Elasticsearch best suited for?
It’s ideal for mid-market and enterprise e-commerce brands, marketplaces, multi-brand retailers, B2B distributors, and companies with complex catalogs or specific search requirements.
Can Elasticsearch support semantic, vector, and AI-powered search?
Yes. Elasticsearch supports BM25, vector search, hybrid semantic models, embeddings, and custom scoring, allowing you to build modern AI-driven search experiences.
How scalable is Elasticsearch for fast-growing e-commerce businesses?
Extremely scalable. As a distributed system, it can handle billions of documents and high query throughput while maintaining <100 ms latency.
Do you integrate Elasticsearch with commerce platforms like Shopify, Commercetools, or SAP Commerce?
Yes. We’ve built Elasticsearch implementations for major commerce platforms, including Shopify Plus, Saleor, Medusa, Commercetools, SAP Commerce Cloud, and custom enterprise ecosystems.
Can you migrate us from a legacy or SaaS search solution?
Absolutely. We support migrations from Algolia, Bloomreach, Solr, and other legacy systems, ensuring zero downtime and minimal disruption.
How long does an Elasticsearch implementation typically take?
Simple implementations take a few weeks; enterprise-grade commerce search or analytics environments typically take 2–3 months depending on data complexity and integrations.
Is Elasticsearch cost-effective compared to SaaS tools?
Yes. Especially at scale. Many companies reduce search-related costs by up to 50% by self-hosting or using Elastic Cloud efficiently.
