I signed up for your beta and will follow your progress.

Is your solution based on solr/lucene/elasticsearch?

Ours is a custom index written mostly in 'C' and bit of x86 assembly. It is very lightweight and extremely fast even without the use of replica indexes for every sort order.

Thanks for signing up.. Will get you started as soon as we have our additional servers up.
