We’re OMC — we manage search so you don’t have to.

We have a passion for providing useful tools and services for developers and businesses In 2009, we launched Websolr, the first cloud hosted Solr-as-a-service, in the original batch of Heroku add-ons In 2012, we followed up with Bonsai, the first hosted Elasticsearch-as-a-service on the market

Our company is small and independent Since day one, we've been self-funded, profitable, and beholden to our customers alone Our entire team, starting with the founders, is comprised of developers, engineers, scientists, and designers

We've been fortunate to serve teams at both startups and established sites We manage the search engines for e-commerce applications, social media sites, magazine archives, classifieds search, job boards, resume search, CRMs, CMSs, and more

Enterprise-grade search powered by open-source Apache Solr and hosted by a team with over 11 years of expertise in cloud operations and search Websolr is fast, reliable, and backed by expert support and advice

Bonsai is a fully managed full-text search engine powered by the open source Elasticsearch project Bonsai is the quickest way to get started, the best value for most projects, and when it's time to scale, we have deep expertise to come alongside and help

Our team — we wear a lot of hats
