Amazon Cloudsearch Session With Elsevier: re:Invent 2013 Michael Bohlig
Session SV302 from re:Invent 2013
Today's applications work across many different data assets - documents stored in Amazon S3, metadata stored in NoSQL data stores, catalogs and orders stored in relational database systems, raw files in filesystems, etc. Building a great search experience across all these disparate datasets and contexts can be daunting. Amazon CloudSearch provides simple, low-cost search, enabling your users to find the information they are looking for. In this session, we will show you how to integrate search with your application, including key areas such as data preparation, domain creation and configuration, data upload, integration of search UI, search performance and relevance tuning. We will cover search applications that are deployed for both desktop and mobile devices. Peter Simpkin from Elsevier provides a summary of their use of CloudSearch.

Amazon Redshift - Bay Area CloudSearch Meetup June 19, 2013Michael Bohlig
Amazon Redshift is a fully managed data warehousing service that allows customers to easily provision and operate data warehouses at any scale. It is optimized for fast queries on large datasets by using columnar storage and massively parallel query processing across multiple compute nodes. Redshift automatically handles failures, backups, scaling and upgrades to provide high availability and easy management for data warehouses.
This document discusses migrating an e-learning platform's search from Sphinx to Amazon CloudSearch. The platform has over 1 million users and indexes data from MySQL and DynamoDB. The migration involved testing with one item type, using a script to upload initial contents, then indexing all other types except high-volume messages and postings which were migrated last. Ruby on Rails was integrated using a gem and background workers update the search every 15 minutes. The migration took two weeks and simplified the architecture for better scalability.
- Coursera is an ed-tech startup providing massive open online courses from top universities to over 2.5 million users, with around 9 million course enrollments.
- They needed a search solution for their forums due to the limitations of MySQL full text search in handling natural language queries and relevance at scale.
- CloudSearch was selected as it provided fast and relevant searches with low maintenance compared to alternatives like Solr due to its ease of use and integration on AWS. It currently indexes around 1.5 million documents to power searches of their forums.
