Today, Lucene/Solr are the de-facto standard for running search across most organizations. Legacy search technologies have been replaced with open source Solr-based platforms, these platforms have to be able to scale well beyond all the platforms they have displaced and to enable many more use cases, and there is now an ever-increasing demand for smarter, AI-powered search capabilities to drive relevancy and insights. In all of these cutting-edge use cases for Solr, there are consistent themes. Companies like Apple, Reddit, and Salesforce have taken the main stage at Revolution to show us how they are building tools with Solr to power their most important applications.

Lucidworks started Lucene/Solr Revolution to bring the Lucene and Solr communities together to meet, network, and drive innovation to the open source projects.įast forward 8 years, and Apache Solr has been adopted to power many of the most critical applications at the world’s most innovative companies. Open source search was beginning to take hold as a viable replacement for legacy black-box search vendors, and the Big Data era was in its infancy. ACTIVATE began as “Lucene/Solr Revolution” back in 2010, when we were at the forefront of a revolution.
