Project Summary

DotCode provided cloud consulting to migrate a yoga-retreat marketplace's search from Algolia to Elasticsearch and advised on front-end and back-end tooling. The engagement included architecture recommendations, cluster configuration guidance, and a quick Elastic instance setup. The client reported that their questions were answered, the team established a smooth workflow through regular communication, and the vendor was professional and helpful.

Project Solution

The vendor advised on hosting and infrastructure choices (self-hosted vs AWS vs DigitalOcean vs Heroku), recommended index/shard/cluster configurations for Elasticsearch, and provided backend tooling guidance for Ruby on Rails and frontend tooling guidance for a React app. They set up a quick Elastic instance, helped configure development environments, and answered the client's questions throughout the process. One consultant (Yurii) managed the engagement from start to finish.
