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 _o…

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 serv…

> I wonder why they don't tell that AWS is their service provider. It's because Heroku's choice of vendors shouldn't matter to their customers. They see it as an implementation det…

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/m…

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 nod…

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

> He did not say web or browser. He said nodejs. Indeed; more generally, I said CLI. TLDR of the previous link: it's an interesting general-purpose take on using ssh public/private…

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…

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

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 li…

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 d…

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 …

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 up…

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 f…

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 super…

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 proble…

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 a…

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 b…
