Seamless integration of Azure Search with Umbraco
ExamineX is an Umbraco add-on to effortlessly integrate Azure Search with Umbraco.
Are you getting Lucene file locks? Startup delays when scaling out? Indexes out of sync? Downtime from index rebuilding? … All of this is solved with ExamineX.
- Very easy to setup (install via Nuget)
- Ideal when hosting Umbraco on Azure Web Apps
- Perfect solution for load balancing and auto-scaling
- Works on Umbraco Cloud
- APIs provided for working directly with Azure Search services
