Day 52: Building Lightning-Fast Log Search with Inverted Indexing
254-Day Hands-On System Design Series | Module 2: Scalable Log Processing | Week 8: Distributed Log Search
Today's Learning Agenda
What We're Learning:
High-performance inverted index with specialized log tokenization
RESTful search API achieving sub-100ms response times
React-based search interface with real-time suggestions
Production-ready system handling 1000+ documents/second
Key Concepts Covered:
Inverted index architecture and TF-IDF scoring
Log-specific tokenization patterns for technical terms
Real-time indexing with concurrent search operations
Performance optimization and persistence strategies
Integration Context:
Builds on Day 51's analytics dashboards with search capabilities
Prepares foundation for Day 53's distributed indexing across nodes
Completes the search layer of our distributed log processing system
