Case Study: Yatego achieves 100x faster search and real-time product updates with Elastic (Elasticsearch)

Yatego - Customer Case Study

Yatego is a German online shopping mall hosting 10,000 merchants with 5 million products and 16 million variants, serving about 3.4 million users per month. The company needed to provide fast, reliable search across that catalog and handle millions of merchant updates daily; its previous MySQL-based search was slow to query, slow to index and produced inconsistent results.

By adopting Elasticsearch, Yatego delivered dramatically faster, more accurate search — improving query speed by about 100x — and enabled real-time indexing of up to 9 million product and stock updates per day (cutting indexing from four hours to two minutes). The change reduced server requirements, improved Google crawl/indexing and data quality checks via facets, and gave Yatego a clear competitive edge with faster results and fresher inventory.
