Softjourn’s Custom Comparison Tool Offers Seamless ES Upgrades
If you are dreading your next Elasticsearch upgrade due to potential disruption to your users, worry not! Softjourn recently developed a comparison tool that gives our clients total confidence to launch an upgrade of their Elasticsearch, knowing the implementation won’t affect their users’ experiences.
This customizable tool has helped our clients with over 10 types of different searches retain a .02% difference between the old and upgraded versions of Elasticsearch. With our extensive knowledge and experience in Elasticsearch upgrades, our clients can rest assured knowing that their end users will have the same (or even better!) experience during and after the upgrade.
Not only do our clients appreciate the frictionless upgrade, plus the quicker and more accurate search results that come with it, but they also can use our custom comparison tool for future Elasticsearch upgrades to ensure smooth transitions in the future.
ElasticSearch Case Studies:
Softjourn’s Custom Comparison Tool Makes for a Smooth Elasticsearch Upgrade
Our large-scale expense management client needed to upgrade their Elasticsearch from version 2.3.4 to 7.9. This large leap between versions is already a difficult upgrade but was made more complicated as the client has a very complex Elasticsearch system. Softjourn developed a comparison tool to ensure the accuracy of the upgraded search before the client launched the product to their users. With the tool, they were able to make sure there would be no disruption to their users’ search experience during and after the upgrade.
Using Elasticsearch to Create an Application with Data-Tracking Capabilities
We utilized ElasticSearch in order to search for and gather information from reports, filters, and different options, which were needed to build a stand-alone application for our client, a leading provider of digital publishing and conversion solutions. The solution we created helps our client provide its users the ability to track data packets sent from their existing applications and publications, plus allow reports on that data to be viewed by authorized users.
Building a Multi-Feature Interface by Utilizing Elasticsearch
A client who specializes in digital publishing and conversion worked with Softjourn to develop a new interface that would receive tracking data from the client's existing technology and would allow users to view and export relational data. Softjourn’s team adjusted ElasticSearch so it would eliminate the need to design for specific use cases, the way some NoSQL databases require. Elasticsearch application helped us secure a big win for our client.
