How many index / indices can I create?

You can create as many indices as you want.

If you plan go into the tens of thousands or more, it’s better to contact us to set up an optimized configuration.A few common use cases where several indices are needed:

  • You need to index different “kind of things”: index_people, index_products, …

  • You need to clear and re-index a complete index. To avoid negative transition effects like having an empty index at some point, we advise you to create a new temporary index and then replace the old one.

  • You want to have multiple development environments: dev_products, staging_products, prod_products, …

  • You want to have different indices for different languages: products_en, products_fr, products_it, …
