We've loved algolia for the 2-3 sites we've used it for. The speed is unbeatable.
I wish we could've used it for one of our HIPAA use cases (patient data). I could've rolled out powerful search for an internal site in a day, but instead I'm having to build in postgres full text search and looking longingly at them.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoNo hosted version for businesses who are running in a regulated environment?
- searchableguy 6y agoIs elastic search not an option? I read they are compliant with hippa and other laws. There are many open source alternatives to algolia too. I am using meilli search - https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch atm. It works pretty well without taking huge resources. Sonic is interesting too if you want something minimal - https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic
- JoshGlazebrook 6y agomeilli looks very promising! Thanks for this.
- kolencherry 6y agoDoesn't Algolia offer BAAs? I thought I had seen it as part of their Enterprise plan.
- jlemoine 6y agoYes indeed, it is recent (since 2020)
- SigmundA 6y agoI wish some more effort would be put into Postgres full text search seems to have stagnated somewhat, it does a lot but is also lacking compared to say Lucene. Not that its going to be as good as Algolia but it could be a whole lot better for many use cases specifically TF/IDF and BM25 scoring: https://github.com/postgrespro/rum https://github.com/postgrespro/rum
- jlemoine 6y ago(I am the CTO and Co-founder), we are HIPAA compliant since 2020 and we can support your use case
- atonse 6y agoGood to know. We’ll be in touch!
