ChatWork is using CloudSearch heavily. One of the biggest use-case in Japan. Developer Tanaka-san introduced the way to move to CloudSearch.
As you can see following slide, their data is huge but CloudSearch handles that with low-latency 🙂 Managed service is beneficial that they don’t need to think of operation and maintenance.
