Performance and strength

Our Technologies

The whole platform behind Hosted Solr is built using Open Source Software.
We strongly believe in the power of an open development culture and free software.
On this page we want to introduce you to the technologies we have used for building Hosted Solr.

Apache Solr Docker Ruby on Rails Ruby NGINX GitLab


Logo: Apache Solr

Apache Solr

Apache Solr is an open source search platform based on Apache Lucene. The most important features are the powerful full-text and synonym search as well as a faceted search. It enables the integration of numerous databases, dynamic clustering and is optimised for the use of large amounts of data.

We have been successfully using Apache Solr in our customer projects for several years.

Docker

Docker is a containerisation technology with which Linux® containers can be created and used.

The advantages of Docker containers are manifold and range from modularity in the sense of microservices to image version control and the provision of new applications in a matter of seconds.

Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails is a modern framework for creating web applications. It was developed using the Ruby programming language. Ruby on Rails offers numerous features such as an MVC architecture, an object-relational mapper and an asset pipeline.

Rails allows us to react quickly to customer requests. It also makes our developers happy.

Ruby

Ruby is a dynamically typed, object-oriented programming language. The source code of a Ruby application is platform-independent and can be executed in all environments for which an interpreter is available.

Thanks to the development of modern web application frameworks such as Sinatra and Rails, Ruby has evolved over time into one of the most widely used languages for web development.

Logo: Nginx

NGINX

NGINX is an open source web server that has been optimised for high performance and parallelism. Alongside Apache, NGINX is one of the most popular software solutions for web servers.
NGINX's core functions include reverse proxying, the load balancer, fast content delivery and TLS/SSL encryption for secure data transfer.

Hosted Solr uses NGINX to process incoming HTTP requests.

Logo: GitLab

GitLab

GitLab is a web application for software development and version management of software projects based on Git. The most important features are Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD).

The GitLab Community Edition is developed as open source software under the MIT licence. GitLab can be operated on your own hardware or in the Enterprise Edition as Software as a Service (SaaS).
