Save up to 30% on hardware infrastructure costs

Yep, seriously. We work with you to understand the best instances to deploy on and help you take advantage of preferential billing and Reserved Instances. You pay us to run search; you pay Amazon to run the computers. It’s that simple. Plus, make changes quickly without worrying about slowing down deployments.

Imagine what you could do if you never had to worry about red and yellow response codes

There’s a reason companies at every scale switch to Bonsai for their search engines.

Security and privacy are our highest priorities

access controls icon

access controls

All Bonsai clusters are provisioned with a unique, randomized URL and have HTTP Basic Authentication enabled by default, using a randomly generated set of credentials. Under this scheme, it would take the world’s fastest super computer around 23.5 quadrillion years to guess.

Encrypted communications icons

Encrypted communications

All Bonsai clusters support SSL/TLS for encryption in transit. We use industry standard strength encryption to ensure your data is safe over the wire.

Encrypted at rest icon

Encrypted at rest

Bonsai clusters are provisioned on hardware that is encrypted at rest by default. In addition to Amazon’s physical security controls, this means your data is safe from physical theft.

Regular Snapshots icon

Regular Snapshots

All paid Bonsai clusters receive regular snapshots, which are stored in an offsite, encrypted S3 bucket in the same region as the cluster.

Firewalled icon

Firewalled

All Bonsai clusters are accessed via a custom-built, high-performance layer 7 routing proxy, and sit behind a tightly controlled firewall. This helps to ensure that the cluster and data are protected from port scans and unauthorized persons.

Advanced Networking icon

Advanced Networking

Bonsai can support IP whitelisting, and VPC Peering to users on single tenant clusters.

Scaling search engines since 2009

“We switched to Bonsai as our ES vendor...and have not had one moment of regret or issue with your excellent service. Both the technical platform and your support team have been a delight to work with. We are very happy customers.”
