Enhanced Liferay Enterprise Application Performance by Removing GSA Integration
by Azilen Technologies Adding ValueTime
to time evaluation and optimization of real world application for improved
performance is one of the most significant aspect of our techie life. We have
to pay high degree of attention towards the efficient usage of tools and
technologies. Recently, I removed Google Search Appliances (GSA) integration
from a full functioning Liferay application and the outcomes were somehow much striking
The
Liferay application is meant to furnish its users the domain specific
scientific data. The application holds colossal amount of data accessible
through advance search functions. I was
in process of exploring possibilities to minimize the time for both content
uploading and page loading. In order to manage the indexing and front-end
display of the data, it was integrated with both Google Search Appliances (GSA)
and Apache Solr.
There
was nothing against capabilities of GSA, yet I decided to remove its
integration to find out if single search engine could execute the search
function in a better way or not. I made sure there should not be any kind of
disruption in current functionalities as well as futuristic scalability of the application.
Benefits
of Removing GSA Integration
àMassive
reduction in amount of time for content uploading which decreased from 8 to 30
minutes to 2 to 5 minutes
àPerformance
improvement in overall page loading time, which decreased up to 20-50 %
àCost
saving of around $50,000.00
Conclusion
During
the process of removing GSA, I developed several functionalities that could
address each precise requirement of the application’s search function attainable
through Apache Solr. The end user could delightfully experience the improved
performance without having any disruption during the optimization process.
Overall, it proved to be the much enriching experience for my team and me.
