Search as a service startup Algolia announced last\u00a0week at the Web Summit in Dublin that they are opening up 8 new data centers around the world (raising the total to 12), and launching a new premium service for customers, called a\u00a0Distributed Search Network (DSN), which will allow customers to distribute their search data across multiple data centers, meaning the end-user of an Algolia-powered search experience will be delivered search results from the closest Algolia server.<\/p>\n

Algolia has been on a mission to conquer the\u00a0search world for nearly two years now,\u00a0raising big money from key strategic investors over the past year- the total funding now exceeds $2.5 Million, including iconic SaaS investor Storm Ventures. With this money, the team has been growing in California & Paris, and Algolia has begun racking up name-brand clients, like Genius, Pebble, Product Hunt, Crunchbase, Hacker News & more.<\/p>\n

The company also announce last month their new, free Hacker Plan,\u00a0a program\u00a0which CEO Nicolas Dessaigne tells me was already unofficially on a per request basis, but will now be available to anyone who wishes to hack around with Algolia Search. Giving the product away for free to users who aren’t making money off of the service reminds me a lot of Autodesk’s strategy<\/a>\u00a0around Fusion 360, and is a great way to make sure that those who will eventually build\u00a0commercial products which require search are\u00a0already familiar with Algolia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
