Algolia Reference Architecture
Overview
Production-ready architecture for Algolia-powered search. Covers index design, data pipeline from source to Algolia, service layer patterns, and frontend integration.
Architecture Overview
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

Index Design Patterns
Pattern 1: One Index Per Entity Type
const ENV = process.env .NODE_ENV === 'production' ? '' : `${process.env.NODE_ENV} _` ;
export const INDICES = {
products : `${ENV} products` ,
articles : `${ENV} articles` ,
faq : `${ENV} faq` ,
users : `${ENV} users` ,
} as const ;
export type IndexName = typeof INDICES [keyof typeof INDICES ];
Pattern 2: Record Transformer (Source → Algolia)
import type { Product } from '../db/types' ;
interface AlgoliaProduct {
objectID : string ;
name : string ;
description : string ;
category : string ;
brand : string ;
price : number ;
rating : number ;
review_count : number ;
in_stock : boolean ;
image_url : string ;
_tags : string [];
}
export function transformProduct (product : Product AlgoliaProduct {
return {
objectID : product.id ,
name : product.name ,
description : product.description ?.substring (0 , 5000 ) || '' ,
category : product.category .name ,
brand : product.brand .name ,
price : product.price / 100 ,
rating : product.avgRating ,
review_count : product.reviewCount ,
in_stock : product.inventory > 0 ,
image_url : product.images [0 ]?.url || '' ,
_tags : [
product.category .slug ,
...(product.isFeatured ? ['featured' ] : []),
...(product.isNew ? ['new-arrival' ] : []),
],
};
}
Pattern 3: Settings as Code
import type { IndexSettings } from 'algoliasearch' ;
export const productSettings : IndexSettings = {
searchableAttributes : [
'name' ,
'brand' ,
'category' ,
'unordered(description)' ,
],
attributesForFaceting : [
'searchable(brand)' ,
'category' ,
'filterOnly(price)' ,
'filterOnly(in_stock)' ,
'_tags' ,
],
customRanking : ['desc(review_count)' , 'desc(rating)' ],
attributesToRetrieve : ['name' , 'brand' , 'price' , 'image_url' , 'category' , 'rating' ],
attributesToHighlight : ['name' , 'description' ],
attributesToSnippet : ['description:30' ],
unretrievableAttributes : ['_tags' ],
distinct : 1 ,
attributeForDistinct : 'product_group_id' ,
replicas : [
'virtual(products_price_asc)' ,
'virtual(products_price_desc)' ,
'virtual(products_newest)' ,
],
};
import { getClient } from '../client' ;
import { INDICES } from '../indices' ;
import { productSettings } from './products' ;
async function applyAllSettings (const client = getClient ();
await client.setSettings ({ indexName : INDICES .products , indexSettings : productSettings });
console .log ('All Algolia settings applied' );
}
Pattern 4: Search Service Layer
import { getClient } from '../algolia/client' ;
import { INDICES } from '../algolia/indices' ;
import { ApiError } from 'algoliasearch' ;
export class SearchService {
private client = getClient ();
async searchProducts (params : {
query: string ;
filters?: string ;
facetFilters?: string [][];
page?: number ;
hitsPerPage?: number ;
}try {
return await this .client .searchSingleIndex ({
indexName : INDICES .products ,
searchParams : {
query : params.query ,
filters : params.filters ,
facetFilters : params.facetFilters ,
page : params.page ?? 0 ,
hitsPerPage : params.hitsPerPage ?? 20 ,
facets : ['category' , 'brand' ],
clickAnalytics : true ,
},
});
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof ApiError && error.status === 404 ) {
return { hits : [], nbHits : 0 , nbPages : 0 , page : 0 };
}
throw error;
}
}
async federatedSearch (query : string const { results } = await this .client .search ({
requests : [
{ indexName : INDICES .products , query, hitsPerPage : 5 },
{ indexName : INDICES .articles , query, hitsPerPage : 3 },
{ indexName : INDICES .faq , query, hitsPerPage : 3 },
],
});
return results;
}
}
Error Handling Issue Cause Solution Circular dependency Service imports client imports service Use lazy initialization Config drift Dashboard edits not in code Apply settings from code in CI Transform errors DB schema change Add validation in transformer Index name typo Hardcoded strings Use INDICES constants
