We have been using https://www.algolia.com/ https://www.algolia.com/ completely as a replacement for ES.
Pros:
- Managed search engine
- Great API / Developer experience
Cons:
- Cloud only makes it hard for local development
- Expensive (I guess it depends on the usage)
- np_tedious 7y agoWorth noting this is what hacker news itself uses
- kayoone 7y agoyou mean https://hn.algolia.com/ https://hn.algolia.com/? thats not made by the HN team though, wouldn't be surprised if the algolia guys built it to show their tech, which is a very smart idea anyway.
- Redsquare 7y agoIt is a similar cost to elastic/solr cloud options, cheaper if you have to get to feature parity with Algolia.
- kostarelo 7y agoOh that's a good point. I was referring to Algolia vs self hosted ES and that's why I pointed out that it depends on the usage (how much power you need and how many people to maintain it).
