ElasticSearch, within a Laravel project. Great technology, well designed and "it just works" (without too many surprises, that is).

We use ElasticSearch at DEV. Previously we were using Algolia. You might find this post by @molly_struve interesting.

Enjoy the weekend!

Cool, I saw the docs: docs.dev.to/backend/elasticsearch ... what I still need to do is delve into the whole devops/deployment/optimization side of Elasticsearch - how to configure it, monitor it, scale it (if needed), find out how much memory/CPU do I need to run it optimally, yada yada yada ... haven't really looked at that yet but at some point I should.

I have a couple of posts on scaling too that you might find useful. Elasticsearch is so easy to get going but scaling can be a PITA sometimes. But once you get it, oh man is it worth it! Good luck!
