The challenge

Talroo runs job-advertising marketplaces and powers job search for publishers, requiring sub-second responses to meet advertiser SLAs. An outdated Solr search infrastructure could not scale to a 3x increase in job postings in Talroo's inventory.

The solution

Talroo upgraded to Lucidworks Fusion to handle its growing catalog and query volume while keeping latency low, letting the team spend less time operating search and more time building revenue-driving features.

Before Lucidworks, we physically could not handle the number of documents that we're handling now. And Lucidworks has allowed us to do that at the same levels as when we were serving a third of those documents. That is a pretty impressive indicator of ROI.

The results, in context

With Lucidworks Fusion, Talroo served three times as many documents as before while handling over 20 million queries per day. The company met its goal of P95 latency under 400 milliseconds and routinely surpassed it.
