You are correct, Elastic is a RAM beast. Fortunately the data I had was in the low hundreds of documents. Can't recall why I passed on Meili Algolia… the other thing about JAMstack is, it's a bit tiresome how so many JAMstack solutions are paid services. I don't begrudge anyone trying to make a buck — I am too, after all — but the level of community, support, and rate of improvement just doesn't keep up with a really good open source project. Try to get help with a Wordpress issue vs Contentful. Also their pricing seems to think that customers are either free-tier devs or enterprises who can afford hundreds or thousands of dollars a month for their services. Most of the people I deal with look at a $25/mo Squarespace package as reasonable and they're not wrong. I won't consider JAMstack "of age" until we have an open source headless CMS on par with Contentful or Sanity.

Hey thanks for your answer, yes I also do feel that way about the paid-ness of JAMstack and related tools, but oh well we live on a capitalist society afterall, and for every venture backed project there's an indie one! I can personally recommend PrimeCMS, it was my introduction to open source and what make me discover also AccountsJS (Which I contribute to) and graphql-modules and all the awesome @theguild graphql tools, which are actually open source. How I see it, is nice to be able to use those free tiers to develop MVP's and have a clear plan of moving out of those once the bill gets too expensive... That's the game for me at least... just today a retool open source alternative was in the homepage, so there's room for everyone here I think! What JAMStack means, is more layers of abstraction, but an easiness of getting started too, you can get it as simple or complex as you want anyway...
