Global media companies choose Algolia to power content discovery experiences

“Our goal at 8Tracks is to push the barrier on what’s possible in terms of music discovery. That wouldn’t be possible without Algolia’s API.”
Rémi Gabillet
Co-founder & CTO
“Once we implemented Algolia and saw how much it was outperforming our previous solution just in terms of providing relevant search results, it was a no brainer for us to migrate to Algolia.”
Tim Specht
Co-founder & CTO
