Enablement

Developers can create single-node or clustered instances of a9s Search using Apps Manager or the Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface (cf CLI) and bind these instances to an application.

Overview

a9s Search enables the on-demand creation of dedicated OpenSearch single-node and clustered instances. a9s Search is a document-based data store with a powerful search engine, a genuinely open-source alternative to the now restrictively licensed Elasticsearch search engine and Kibana visualization dashboard.

It allows platform owners to continue offering world-class search engine service to their platform users and customers without worrying about license risks.

When to Use the a9s Search

a9s Search allows you to store, search, and analyze significant volumes 
of data quickly. It can be used as the underlying engine/technology 
that 
powers applications that have complex search features and requirements.

Search Capacity

a9s Search is excellent at doing what traditional databases can’t do: full-text search. 

Both relational and non-relational databases are slow very when it comes to this search technique.

The a9s Search Data Service has been developed to provide maximum flexibility within enterprise application development platforms.  

We considered the most common cloud platform types to offer a solution tailored to customer needs. Additionally, it provides platform operators and application developers with easy handling and flexible use cases of the data service.

a9s Search Runs On

Scalability

Depending on the chosen service plan, a service instance may be associated with a single, dedicated virtual machine or a set of VMs consisting of multiple virtual machines comprising a cluster of a9s Search nodes.

Open-Source

OpenSearch is a fork of Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch was originally open-source, but since version 7.11, has been licensed under the Elastic License and Server Side Public License (SSPL).

Application Search

Suitable for applications that rely heavily on a search platform for the access, retrieval, and reporting of data.

Website Search 

Websites that store much content find a9s Search a handy tool for effective and accurate searches. Unsurprisingly, a9s Search is steadily gaining ground in the site search domain sphere.

Features of a9s Data Service Bundle

With an initial license, you get a certain amount of credits and access to all data services included in the bundle. 

One license allows you and your development teams to use the available credits only on the data services you need. If you want to integrate additional data services from the bundle into your development processes that you have not yet used, use the credits available. 

This credit system gives you and your teams maximum freedom and prevents delays in development due to time-consuming purchasing processes.

Of course, you have full sovereignty over all data services included in the bundle.

On-Demand Provisioning

On-demand provisioning of dedicated service instances.

High Availability

Comes with automatic failure 
handling and self-healing.

Backup and Recovery

Scalability

Depending on the application's needs, developers can scale the service horizontally and vertically.

Observability

Developers can access logs directly and monitor backups, resources, and service-specific metrics to set up alerts.

Security

Service instances are isolated from each other.

Unified User Experience

Services have a unified user experience across different infrastructures and data services
