Security and backups are important regardless of the technology you’re using.
Managed Postgres is a thing, probably much more common than managed lucerne. I can name three managed Postgres providers off the top of my head (AWS, Vultr, Supabase).
- threeseed 3y agoThere is no such thing as managed Lucene. It's a library. There are search engines e.g. Solr, ElasticSearch but those aren't what this paper is proposing.
- doctor_eval 3y agoRight. So now my existing stack needs a backup strategy that’s independent of the database. That’s really tough in production; Lucerne is adding complexity. To be clear I object to this: > I wish HN had some bot that would just delete any comment from people recommending installing databases. Most applications already use a database. Pooh-poohing Postgres as a solution is silly. For many people, it’s actually going to be less complex to take to production than installing a library, especially one with its own complex storage needs. Also: technically, isn’t Lucerne a database?
