Sessions
Learn how we built a lightning-fast search engine using Python, balancing speed, relevance, and scalability. In this session, we’ll explore our hybrid approach, blending vector search with traditional keyword indexing to deliver high quality, accurate results. Discover how we harness a high-performance NoSQL database for efficient data management and fine-tune our results with a re-ranking algorithm for top-notch accuracy.
We’ll dive into the hurdles we overcame, like ensuring data consistency in a NoSQL setup, balancing search precision and performance, and designing a scalable architecture. By the end, you’ll understand how this Python-powered engine works, its real-world applications, and the innovative solutions that set it apart.
