Business User Guide to Relevance and Merchandising

Algolia is a powerful relevance platform that connects your data with your customers. When implementing Algolia, you can collaborate with your data or back-end engineers, who will connect your data with Algolia, and the front-end engineers, who’ll connect Algolia to your app or website, so that users can search or browse into your data.

3. Build the user interface. This step is performed by your front-end engineering team.
