Algolia's architecture is designed to ensure high reliability through redundancy, hosting applications on at least three different servers. To manage network fallibility, the API Clients implement a retry strategy that switches targeted servers based on simple heuristics and latency. However, this approach can lead to false positives due to poor network conditions, causing unnecessary retries and delays for users. Leveraging the Network Information API or Resource Timing API allows Algolia to adjust timeout settings based on actual network conditions, reducing retried requests and improving user experience. By implementing these changes, Algolia aims to provide a better search experience for all users, regardless of their location, network, or device capabilities. The company has also set up monitoring APIs to measure the impact of these changes and is seeking feedback from developers and early adopters.
