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!
