Amazon Search and Solr

April 15, 2012

“Search-as-a-Service With Solr and PlatformLayer” put an interesting spin on the Amazon search-as-a-service offering. The article describes putting Solr running on Amazon’s platform layer. The journey was not without some excitement but it did work. You can find step by step instructions at “PlatformLayer: Everything as a Service.” The companion write up is “SolrAAS” which picks up once you have Solr installed.

The article points out that Platform Layer may be a better choice for developers. There is no Amazon lock in, and if you don’t like the way Platform Layer does something, “it’s open source, so you can change it / get it changed.”

Good write up. Recommended.
