IndexTank released their pricing plans
- delano 16y agoThe pricing for geolocation and faceting is bad. What's the value there? I feel like I'd be paying for the privilege of paying for more expensive add-ons.
- boyter 16y agoInterestingly thats close to what I have been working on for the last few months. I was going to offer something rather similar too but include faceting and without extra cost. Nice to see that the idea has other people working on it as well.
- Daishiman 16y agoI've seen talks given by the IndexTank guys and their technology is pretty cool. ust to get an idea, they told me that Reddit's entire article submissions DB takes up around 4GB, and the comments DB, if it were indexed, would not be much larger. Their business model seems to revolve around the fact that Lucene, Solr, SQL Server Full-Text search and other full-text indexing solutions just suck without serious customization, which can take months and cost thousands of dollars in consulting services, not to mention hardware costs. I believe they're handling all of Reddit's queries with one quarter of the hardware previously required (and unlike the previous version, it works).
- boyter 16y agoInteresting. I didn't realise that Reddit had been moved over to this. I thought they were doing their own thing. I quickly found this http://pivotallabs.com/talks/105-indextank-full-text-search-as-a-service http://pivotallabs.com/talks/105-indextank-full-text-search-... but haven't watched it yet. Is this the talk you are referring to?
- Daishiman 16y agoNo, I saw them live in a conference in Buenos Aires, where they're from.
