You can seamlessly integrate OpenSearch with other AWS services for enhanced data analytics and real-time insights. For example, we can help you,

• Configure Lambda functions to trigger actions based on OpenSearch search results.
• Set up real-time data streaming using Amazon Kinesis and OpenSearch.
• Enable OpenSearch to index and search data stored in S3 buckets.
• Set up monitoring and alerting through CloudWatch for OpenSearch cluster health.

Our OpenSearch expertise comes from years of successful implementation and optimization of this versatile service for organizations across industries. This track record has played a crucial role in our achievement of Amazon OpenSearch Delivery Partnership.

The process to become an Amazon OpenSearch Delivery Partner is rigorous, requiring deep technical expertise and proven customer success. We demonstrated extensive hands-on experience with complex OpenSearch deployments on AWS and passed technical reviews of architecture design, performance optimization, operational excellence, and security.

Our proven track record in crafting robust OpenSearch architecture, deep understanding of indexing and querying techniques, and proficiency in optimizing search performance and managing clusters have helped us earn the Amazon OpenSearch Delivery Partnership.

As your tech partner, we’re committed to offering the same excellence that secured our AWS partnership, ensuring your OpenSearch clusters remain agile, resilient, and primed for growth.

Here are some client success stories that reinforce our position as a trusted Amazon OpenSearch service provider.

An ultimate all-inclusive email management solution

Newton is an email management application that uses cloud infrastructure and works across platforms like macOS, Android, iOS, and Windows.

Challenges

The product owners needed to rapidly add new features to Newton for improved customer acquisition, integrate it with multiple third-party libraries, address high cloud infrastructure costs, and overcome maintenance complications in their existing infrastructure.

Solutions

Using various AWS resources with meticulous configuration management through AWS Config, we successfully enhanced the platform’s features to boost engagement. We also strategically implemented and optimized Amazon OpenSearch to upgrade the search functionality. This facilitated faster and more precise email and data retrieval, ultimately improving user acquisition.

The migration from physical servers to Kubernetes was seamlessly executed and orchestrated through Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). For cost optimization, we integrated DynamoDB to benefit from its serverless capabilities and dynamic load balancing. We also implemented auto-scaling groups to deal with shifts in demand.

Key results

• 30% reduction in email response time
• Reduced the cost of the existing infrastructure to 14 cents/indexing user/month
• Synchronized 13 million emails daily
• 25% reduction in operational costs
• 25% increase in data retrieval speed
• 20% increase in user engagement

A bespoke recruitment platform for the hospitality domain

Virgil, a tech company specializing in employment solutions, partnered with Simform to modernize their hospitality recruitment platform.

Challenges

Virgil wanted to modernize their existing platform to improve code performance. They needed to speed up the bulk job posting process and build a match-making engine to parse resumes rapidly. Lastly, they wanted to improve analytics and needed a customized solution for further visibility into the ROI.

Solutions

We re-architected the system on microservices, allowing the services to be decoupled and the application to be fail-safe. We also containerized the system with AWS Fargate for seamless scalability. Our developers implemented a queuing mechanism for submitting job postings. This checks for job posting notifications regularly and acts on them instantly.

We also used Amazon OpenSearch to enhance data search capabilities. It improved analytics capabilities, empowering Virgil with deeper insights into data. Lastly, we created centralized data storage through OpenSearch, facilitating streamlined data access and analytics for improved efficiency.

Key results

• Significantly improved the scalability of the platform
• Enhanced application performance, resulting in an increased number of users
• Ensured handling of 600,000 users daily without compromising performance
• 60% reduction in search query response times
• 45% reduction in data indexing time, enabling real-time updates and faster access
