I was always surprised one of the cloud providers didn't release a cloud-native full-text search service. A lot of projects could benefit by a simple text search service. I always found Elasticsearch to be a little clunky and found myself wishing there was an alternative. While I don't like to be locked into a cloud vendor, having a simple text search service might be enough to sway me towards a particular vendor, even if it's proprietary. Amazon's Elasticsearch service does simplify installation and management, but honestly I wish it were even simpler. I don't want to even think about CPU/memory sizing or the number of shards.

Well Amazon offers CloudSearch which is a proprietary full-text search engine native to the AWS cloud. https://aws.amazon.com/cloudsearch/ https://aws.amazon.com/cloudsearch/ EDIT: Just to expand on this, I also found that Google Cloud and Azure both have similar proprietary services. https://cloud.google.com/products/search/ https://cloud.google.com/products/search/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/search/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/search/

Algolia comes to mind, no? I'm sure there should be many, many more.
