395 million+
code repositories searchable with semantic search

GitHub, the world’s largest code host serving 180 million developers, deployed Elasticsearch on Elastic Cloud to add semantic search across more than 395 million repositories and billions of documents. The system handles natural-language queries from both human developers and AI agents, dramatically reducing zero-hit search results and improving click-through rates. A team of five to six engineers runs the entire search platform at that scale, with BBQ vector compression reducing infrastructure costs 32x.
