about
Our mission is to empower businesses through meaningful, scalable search experiences.
Bonsai was developed by One More Cloud, a bootstrapped software firm that provides specialized hosted cloud services. Launched in 2012, Bonsai was the first hosted Elasticsearch-as-a-service on the market and remains the leader in providing world-class search solutions and in 2021, Bonsai became the first OpenSearch provider.
Based in Austin, Texas, our company is small and independent. Since day one, we’ve been self-funded, profitable, and beholden to our customers alone. We are driven to provide world-class experiences for developers and businesses.

Our entire team, starting with the founders, includes developers, engineers, scientists, and designers. We love everything about search — and we care about making sure you and your users achieve the best search imaginable.
