Apache Solr is an open-source, highly scalable search platform built on top of Apache Lucene, providing full-text search, faceted search, and real-time indexing via a REST-like API. It's used by developers to power search functionality on websites, e-commerce platforms, and enterprise search applications, handling large volumes of text data with fast query response times. It's a longtime alternative to Elasticsearch for building search infrastructure.
