Project Description

In this project, we’ll build a product listing application where users can see and search for the products of their interest. We’ll use Ruby on Rails with Elasticsearch to build this application. We aim to make an efficient and easy-to-use platform where we can easily check out, manage, and find different products. With the help of Elasticsearch, we’ll add advanced search features to help you find the products you want.

Elasticsearch will be pivotal in indexing and efficiently searching this product data. We’ll also enhance the user experience by incorporating features like dynamic card layouts and a search bar with advanced filtering options.

Next, we’ll create Kibana visualizations that will complement our project by offering a powerful interface for exploring, analyzing, and visualizing the data stored in Elasticsearch.

Finally, to streamline our logging and ensure efficient data processing, we’ll integrate Logstash into our application. Logstash will enable real-time processing of application logs, providing valuable insights and monitoring capabilities.

This combination of Ruby on Rails, Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Logstash will empower us to create a feature-rich and user-friendly product listing application. Get ready to dive into the fascinating web development and Elasticsearch world as we bring this project to reality!
