- tstrimple 6y agoLast time I was exploring this space, ElasticSearch was hands down better than solr from a "speed to market" and "developer experience" standpoint. Those things really matter. It's one of the reasons MongoDB got way more popular than it should have based on all the compromised built into the platform by default.
- mrkurt 6y agoIt's still 100x easier to setup a relocated MongoDB cluster with auto failover than it is with Postgres or MySQL. It's an underrated power.
- tootie 6y agoI'm also a fan of projects like fuse.js which are pretty capable little search engines. It's nowhere the scalability of elastic, but if you have even a few thousand documents, you can jam them into an index the size of a big jpeg and have pretty capable search with no infrastructure.
- mdaniel 6y agoThe bad news is that anyone who has hitched their wagon to ES almost certainly has a bazillion lines of JSON query language for interacting with the thing (unless they stick strictly to the [query_string](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.7/query-dsl-query-string-query.html#query-string-syntax https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.7/...) search language, which I believe is lucene-compatible That's not even including the meta APIs like /_cat/indices and /_mappings et al that further lock one into ES-isms
