I was fortunate to be able to speak last week (along with Joe Streeky, my Search Infrastructure Development Manager) at the very first Atlanta Solr Meetup held at Atlanta Tech Village. The talk covered how we scale Solr at CareerBuilder to power our recommendation engine, semantic search platform, and big data analytics products. Thanks to everyone who came out for a great event and to LucidWorks who sponsored us with the meeting place, pizza, and drinks.

Talk Summary: CareerBuilder uses Solr to power their recommendation engine, semantic search, and data analytics products. They maintain an infrastructure of hundreds of Solr servers, holding over a billion documents and serving over a million queries an hour across thousands of unique search indexes. Come learn how CareerBuilder has integrated Solr into their technology platform (with assistance from Hadoop, Cassandra, and RabbitMQ) and walk through api and code examples to see how you can use Solr to implement your own real-time recommendation engine, semantic search, and data analytics solutions.
