The main idea is to have:

  • a very good stack with best in class open source components (see docker compose files)
  • a very powerful API that is capable and easy to use. This is achieved through the use of Lucene Query Language and abstracting some complex processing under the hood (synonyms, language support, aggregations, etc.)

  • web components to quickly build UI's while still being able to customize it in many scenarios.
