/ WHY MIGRATE Three gaps. Permanently closed.

Why teams leave incumbent search platforms.

GAP 01

Real-Time Cross-Catalog Joins

0 re-indexes
Before
One vendor status change triggers a full catalog re-index across thousands of products.
With Aether
Cross-catalog joins happen at query time. Change one record — every query reflects it instantly.
Use Case
Food delivery platforms toggle a restaurant's hours and all its menu items disappear from search — instantly, with no rebuild.
GAP 02

Predictable Flat-Rate Billing

searches included
Before
Every keystroke in live autocomplete is a billable operation. High engagement equals a massive, unpredictable bill.
With Aether
One flat monthly rate. Unlimited searches. You scale when your catalog grows, not when your users engage.
Use Case
Content portals give millions of readers live autocomplete across years of archives — same flat monthly fee, no matter the volume.
GAP 03

Advanced Features on All Plans

Included
Before
Personalization, smart ranking, and semantic filters are locked behind $50,000/year enterprise contracts.
With Aether
Click-based personalization, adaptive ranking, and co-item recommendations are on every self-service plan.
Use Case
Retailers surface results ranked by each shopper's click history. No enterprise contract. No integration work.
/ 01 — ZERO-OVERHEAD ISOLATION Unified multi-tenant architecture

Every tenant gets a sealed, hot index.

Each API key opens a fully isolated search environment with its own index, event log, and data snapshot. No customer data is ever accessible to another. Every write is confirmed to durable storage before acknowledgment — zero data loss even during unexpected restarts.

/ 06 — US ENTERPRISE COMPLIANCE Trust & security

Secure By Default. Compliance Ready.

Designed for the US regulated market from day one — not retrofitted. Every boundary enforces isolation. Every delete is permanent. Every audit trail is machine-readable.

SOC 2 Type II Auditable

Full audit logging and session controls at every API boundary. Every tenant operation produces a structured, queryable event record.

HIPAA Ready

End-to-end encryption for protected health data. Business Associate Agreements available for covered entities and healthcare operators.

CCPA / CPRA Compliant

Right-to-delete requests complete instantly and permanently — purging records from all active indexes and backup logs with a single API call.

AES-256 Encryption

All traffic in transit secured with TLS 1.3. All stored indexes, event logs, and snapshots encrypted at rest with AES-256.

/ 08 — DEVELOPER QUICKSTART Three API calls to production

Integrate in the time it takes to read this.

One POST to provision a tenant. One POST to index a document. One GET to search it. Every operation returns in under 5ms.

/ 09 — LATENCY DIAGNOSTICS Benchmark diagnostics

Measured latency from the latest benchmark run.

Live benchmark data comparing Aether Enterprise, Aether Eco, and a leading open-source alternative at 100-way concurrency.

100-way concurrent load · 1,000 requests per scenario · lower P50/P95/P99 is better · higher RPS is better.

/ WHAT TEAMS SAY Engineering-first feedback

From the engineers who shipped it.

We migrated our entire product catalog — 340k SKUs — from Algolia. The multi-tenant isolation meant our retail clients couldn't even tell we were sharing infrastructure. Search bill dropped 73%. I'd have done it two years earlier if I'd known.

HIPAA-compliant search was our blocker for two years. Patient records need true isolation — not just access controls. Aether gave us per-tenant encrypted indexes on day one. Our compliance team signed off in a week. That never happens.

Sarah Okonkwo CTO · Nexova Health

I've heard "sub-5ms" from three vendors. Aether is the only one that delivered it under 100-way concurrency on real transaction data — not a synthetic benchmark. P99 at 8.3ms with our 80k document index. Those are just facts.
