Well suited: I would recommend Algolia if you have an ecommerce with relevant traffic and with a big catalog that needs to place the right products on the right place to give the user a better experience.

Not well suited I would not recommend if you have a small eccomerce with small catalogs, because the AI would not make a big change

Algolia Reliability

Overall is a scalable tool as the environment and the backend functions are the same and many things are done directly on the tool so without the need of further specific developments. However some things could be improved such as documentation for integration that could help in doing whitelabel solutions
So Far so good, we did not have problems of application or slow performance
Pages load as quicly as what we had in the past. Reports have a reasonable time frame. So far so good in terms of performance
