If I would summarize the majority of this article it is:
The Go libraries are not working as I was expecting and I can't figure out how to treat JSON data as data because of the type system.
Also, "entire JavaScript ecosystem is garbage ".
> we regularly ran into issues with basic product functionality that made me start to question how Elastic is successful at all.
I would have liked to hear more about those, not about the inability of the author to deal with JSON.
- xena 3y agoThe issues were "inserting data into ElasticSearch" and "searching data out of ElasticSearch" using their official SDKs and integrations. If this isn't core product functionality, what is?
- frugen 3y agoBut it's complaining about one language's SDK, not the core functionality, which is the data insertion and search API. Elastics core functionality is good. This is just complaining about how it's not well abstracted. I can't even count how many clients I've used over the years that are annoying to use. Hardly seems very notable. The funny thing is I've always found elastics API really easy to use.
