A Scala-based proxy models the search pipeline as a composition of a Reader monad and Future to keep server state minimal and treat requests as pure functions. It orchestrates backends—Solr, Elasticsearch, a key-value store (Arizona), and ML inference services—by converting queries into an intermediate boolean-retrieval tree, querying appropriate services (including an online learned ranker), and combining or retrying results to return ranked search results.
