Algolia is announcing the sunset of its Salesforce B2C Commerce cartridge "Gen(eration) 1" and the associated internal "Stream" record ingestion service on October 31, 2024. The Gen 1 cartridges and Stream ingestion service have limitations in scalability, reliability, transparency/monitoring, and flexibility. Algolia has released a new Gen 2 that leverages its highly scalable Search APIs for record ingestion, offering significant improvements. The company encourages customers to upgrade to Gen 2 as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition before Black Friday/Cyber Week. A migration guide is available, and Algolia offers support during the upgrade process.
