Apache Solr Production Support

April 1, 2026

Apache Solr Production Support

When Apache Solr powers your search in production, you need more than documentation. You need a team of dedicated Solr engineers who respond immediately when something goes wrong and continuously optimize your cluster for performance.

What Nextbrick’s Solr Production Support Includes

  • 1-Hour P1 Response — Critical incidents get a senior Solr engineer engaged within 60 minutes
  • 24/7 SolrCloud Monitoring — Continuous monitoring of node health, shard status, ZooKeeper, query latency, and indexing throughput
  • Named Solr Production Engineer — The same engineer on every call — they know your schema, your query patterns, your infrastructure
  • Proactive Performance Management — Monthly review of slow queries, cache hit rates, heap usage, and merge policies
  • Incident Post-Mortems — Written root cause analysis (RCA) after every P1/P2 incident
  • Security Patching — CVE monitoring and emergency patching for critical Solr vulnerabilities
  • Capacity Planning — Quarterly review of index growth and query volume to prevent capacity surprises
