Perhaps telling that none of the Found team are still at Elastic, from what I can tell on LinkedIn. I pay attention to that kind of stuff because (full disclosure) I operate the _other_ small customer-focused managed Elasticsearch company (

They would have to triple-quintuple-backflip-down on "open." So, maybe? It depends on how much value is being created besides the code, in squishier parts of the business like service, support, pricing models, marketing, and so on

And a high bar, too, which is good for everyone.

Seems that "S3 offline" is the AWS equivalent of a datacenter falling into the ocean. Gotta wonder how many services are using S3 as a faux message queue?

Hmm. Considering Heroku dynos start at $0/mo for development, that may be an apples and oranges comparison here ;) In the context of reasonable hobby/development costs, I our $10/mo plan fits well for that and is pretty popul

Relevant to my interests. Founder of ES host Bonsai.io. Echoing mrkurt, ES is indeed hefty to run. Elasticsearch is going to require a hundred+ megs of RAM just to run an empty node. And then you'll want enough heap and CPU that you&#x

Seems like the closest we've got is OAuth with your Google/Facebook/GitHub/Twitter account.

Actually, I was recently pointed at Joyent's node-http-signature[1], which is pretty clever. It can sign an HTTP request using one's SSH keys. Handy for a CLI client for a HTTP API. I've done a couple of HTTP auth schemes for

It wasn't a management console compromise, it was an old API key that got leaked.

by nzadrozny 12y ago
Hey all, Bonsai cofounder here. It was an old API access key that got leaked, not our account credentials. We're still investigating how and where the key got leaked, but bottom line, it should have been revoked ages ago. 2FA is great,

Probably an SEO/branding move for Algolia.

Thanks. I screwed up our CDN settings while trying to push out some changes. Working on that :-)

I'd like to point out that two competing founders of hosted Elasticsearch as a service agree: ES is great, but not a general-purpose data store :-)

We've got a free Heroku addon that's pretty easy to spin up and play with. Elasticsearch also has an analyze[1] API that can be helpful to play around with. It's also possible to download and install ES locally and run any nu

Sure, that's a fair point. Data consistency reliability in ES and Lucene will only get better over time. But I personally suspect Lucene won't ever get away from the dreaded "just reindex." And to the larger point, I thi

I host and support websolr.com and bonsai.io and have seen a lot of search implementations. The main thing for good stability and performance is to be very good at batching your updates. You don't want to sling a ton of highly-parallel

Ditto open file handles, which is easy to push when aggressively over-sharding. Not an uncommon mistake for the enthusiastic newbie. Having supported Solr/ES/Lucene in production for 4+ years now (websolr.com / bonsai.io) I w

Or, along those lines but less world-dominating, "Sorry for [choosing a time and location for our meeting that resulted in exposing you to] the rain." Same point, though. The superfluous apology lends an implied sense of influence

Hear, hear. And while we might not be able to fix a problem without understanding causation, we certainly can't find the causations without first recognizing that there is a problem. Is lack of diversity in our industry a problem? I share a

I enjoy working with Jekyll a lot, because no code is faster than no code. When I'm working on static marketing content, Jekyll will literally regenerate a page faster than I can alt-tab and refresh. It honestly makes web development fun ag

Full text search usually presumes an index, for a lot of functional differences compared to the browser's naive substring-matching Ctrl-F. And any proper search index is going to be a better user experience than naive string matches. I have

I like the "back to basics" approach of these kinds of blog posts. My apps use Resque for fairly basic queuing behavior, and it's always nice to read something like this to refresh my imagination about what's possible in a good queue system

Really nice work, Iron.io team. I particularly like that you put those numbers in perspective to other popular services at scale. There's something comforting about knowing that any one site's individual requirements are a small fraction of

There are hosted services for Solr and ElasticSearch, too. Such as fizx's and my own http://websolr.com and http://bonsai.io

Can you expand on what you mean?

Looks like a sales/SEO play for a Solr/ElasticSearch consultant. Still seems pretty helpful as a community resource. I emailed the author to see if he's interested in setting up a public GitHub repo to take pull requests. Personally, I'd li
