What is Apache Solr? Apache Solr is an open-source, enterprise search platform built on Apache Lucene that lets organizations index large volumes of content and serve fast, relevant, full-text search, with features like faceting, filtering, highlighting, and near-real-time indexing across a distributed cluster. For engineering teams, it means powering site search, product search, and document and log search at scale, with high availability and horizontal scaling through SolrCloud.
As organizations make search central to their products and operations, this program helps your teams design, build, and operate Solr search confidently. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide. Built around your goals, the program turns Apache Solr skills into lasting capabilities that lift performance across search, backend, and platform teams.
Delivered instructor-led and fully customized to your data and search use cases, the training is available worldwide in person and virtually across popular languages, and covers Solr end to end, including schema design, indexing, query parsing, relevance tuning, faceting, and SolrCloud operations. Your organization gains faster and more relevant search, lower infrastructure cost, and engineers who can scale search as content and traffic grow.

Participants should be comfortable with general programming concepts and working on the command line, and ideally have some familiarity with JSON, REST APIs, and basic Java, since Solr runs on the JVM. Prior search or database experience is helpful but not required, as the program includes guided setup and fundamentals. Edstellar tailors the starting point to your team's experience, so both engineers new to Solr and those running existing clusters can take part productively.
